Reflexology in East Dulwich

We are one of the leading exponents of reflexology in East Dulwich and the surrounding areas.

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, hands and ears to promote overall well-being and balance in the body.

While the practice of reflexology has ancient roots, the modern form of reflexology as we know it today has developed over the past century. The underlying theory is that these points, known as reflexes, correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By stimulating these reflex points, reflexology practitioners believe they can promote relaxation, improve circulation, and encourage the body's natural healing processes.

Ehi says that she fell deeper in love with reflexology while actually carrying out massage treatments, she loves the process of observing someone going into a deeper state of relaxation, there are points on the feet that correlate to the diaphragm that she would press while doing a massage, and a large percentage of the time, breathing slowed down further at this point. This is the point where she realises just how powerful reflexology can be.

Reviews

“I have been a customer of Mothers Inc for many years. And have always received an excellent service. I have received relief from long term pain with both reflexology and massage sessions and always got follow up calls to check on my progress. I recently referred a friend whose child was suffering from long term constipation/tummy issues. The session was successful and the child is now more comfortable.” - Emma

“Had a back massage and reflexology a few weeks ago. Lovely masseuse, calming salon and really tailored the massage to my individual requirements - back pain improved significantly afterwards. Would definitely recommend.” - Alex Bos

History of Reflexology

Ancient Origins: The concept of reflexology can be traced back to ancient civilizations. There is evidence that various forms of foot and hand therapy were practiced in ancient China, Egypt, and India. Ancient texts and illustrations suggest that these cultures believed in the therapeutic benefits of manipulating specific points on the feet and hands.

Early 20th Century: Reflexology as a distinct practice began to take shape in the early 20th century. In the 1900s, several healthcare practitioners, including Dr. William H.

Fitzgerald introduced the concept of zone therapy, suggesting that the body could be divided into ten longitudinal zones, with specific points on the hands and feet corresponding to different organs and areas of the body.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Ingham developed maps of reflex points on the feet and hands, correlating them with specific organs and body parts. Her work laid the foundation for the reflexology techniques used today.

Recognition and Growth: Reflexology gained popularity in the United States and Europe during the mid-20th century. Ingham's books, such as "Stories the Feet Can Tell" and "Stories the Feet Have Told," contributed to the dissemination of reflexol

While reflexology has ancient roots, its modern form and widespread acceptance in the healthcare community have developed over the past century. Today, reflexology is practiced in various forms and is often considered a holistic approach to wellness.
