The benefits of reflexology are well-renowned and include pain relief, increased circulation and nerve supply, reduction of stress and anxiety and improved sleep to name a few.
From the moment the reflexologist's hands start their work, the relaxation begins.
University of Portsmouth UK new research show reflexology may be as effective as painkillers for common conditions such as back pain and osteoarthritis.
Dr Carol Samuel, a trained reflexologist who carried out the research, said those who had the treatment felt about 40 per cent less pain, and were able to stand pain for about 45 per cent longer when they used the complementary therapy as a method of pain relief.
