The healing power of touch.

Touch is our first and most primal sense which is developed in the womb and is the largest sensory system in the body. There are tactile receptors all over our outer skin waiting to receive various touch sensations and send them to our central nervous system and then our brain for processing, when new-borns are laid against their bare mothers, this skin-to-skin contact is so powerful, it can save a fragile life.

Massage and reflexology have been used by our ancestors for thousands of years to aid the body in healing itself, enhancing health and well-being.

A therapist applies touch with intent and intuition working with each client as an individual, feeling for areas of tension whilst encouraging energetic flow within the body. Not only does this sensation feel caring, calming and soothing our brain is being triggered to release hormones such as oxytocin the ‘love drug’ and ‘happy hormones’ serotonin and dopamine as well as lowering cortisol, the ‘stress’ hormone.

​

Massage and reflexology were thought of as a luxury way to pamper, now these modalities are being seen as valuable part of health care and are a therapeutic tool which can be utilised in decreasing pain, tightness, tension as well as relieving symptoms of anxiety, stress and promoting sleep naturally. On an emotional level the positive messages we receive from touch enhance our mood and lift the spirit.
