REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a natural, holistic therapy based on the principle that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems within the body. By applying gentle pressure to these reflex points, reflexology helps stimulate the body’s own healing processes, improve energy flow, and encourage overall balance.
What is Duopody Reflexology
Duopody is a modern, advanced form of reflexology developed in Wales. Unlike the traditional method, Duopody reflexology works on both feet simultaneously, using a systematic approach. By stimulating mirrored reflex points at the same time, Duopody aims to:
Provide greater balance across the body’s systems
Offer a more precise, structured treatment
Enhance neurological responses and co-ordination
Deliver a deeper sense of equilibrium and relaxation
This dual-foot technique allows practitioners to treat the body as a complete, integrated system rather than focusing on one side at a time. Many clients report that Duopody feels more balanced, flowing, and effective compared with traditional reflexology.
How Reflexology Works
Reflexology is more than just a relaxing foot massage. Each reflex point is connected to an area of the body, and when these points are stimulated, it can:
Promote circulation and lymphatic flow
Support the nervous system
Release tension and stress
Encourage the body to restore its natural equilibrium

NEPIP is an advanced reflexology treatment routine that integrates principles of neuroscience, endocrinology, psychology and immunology. This advanced method focuses on harmonising the body’s systems by targeting reflex points on the feet, aiming to reduce stress and promote overall balance in physical and emotional health.
NEPIP is particularly effective for stress and anxiety because it works to balance the interconnected systems of the body – nervous, endocrine, psychological, and immune. It does this by doing the following:
By encouraging relaxation and reducing the ‘fight or flight’ response
Helps balance stress hormones like cortisol, promoting a sense of calm
Addresses the mind-body connection, alleviating mental tension
Strengthens immunity – chronic stress can weaken immunity, and NEPIP helps restore its balance
