Reflexology for Athletes

​Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy that can be a very useful part of an athlete’s routine. This also applies to those of us trying to get fit through running, walking, gym visits, yoga etc.
Reflexology can be instrumental in decreasing injury recovery time but can also help overall performance.
Reflexology increases blood flow and circulation getting oxygen and nutrients to muscles and organs more efficiently. It also helps improve removal of toxins which are a side-effect of exercise.
Improved circulation helps to reduce inflammation and carry healing agents to the site of an injury, helping to heal quicker.
Reflexology helps post-performance recovery by boosting the lymphatic system to remove lactic acid from the body, but also boosts the immune system.
Sleep and relaxation are improved with regular reflexology reducing feelings of fatigue, improving reaction time and memory function.
Whether you are a professional athlete, hobby athlete or trying to get healthy, make reflexology part of your schedule!
