Reflexology

Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that is based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas of the body. It can be effective in promoting deep relaxation, relieving tension, improving mood, aiding sleep and providing a sense of wellbeing.

Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure ailments but potential benefits could include;

  • Relaxation and improved well being.

  • Improved sleep.

  • Reduction in stress, tension, depression and anxiety.

  • Help with relieving pain.

  • Improved circulation.

  • A boost to the immune system and energy levels.

  • Help with symptoms of menopause, PMS, hormonal imbalances.

  • Help with headaches/migraines.

  • Help with digestive problems (IBS/Crhon’s Disease etc).

  • Help with muscular tension (back/neck/shoulders/hip/knee pain).

The video below has been produced by the Association of Reflexologists of which I am a member. It gives you a short introduction to Reflexology and what to expect from a session.

Reflexology should be viewed in a way that it is seen as complementary  and not as an alternative to traditional medicine.

There are very few contraindications to Reflexology but very occasionally it may not be advisable to go ahead or treatments may need to be adapted to ensure safe practice.

What to expect from your Reflexology Treatment

Your first visit will last approximately 80 minutes in total, this allows time for a thorough consultation, followed by a 50 minute treatment. 

During your consultation we will discuss your medical history, diet and lifestyle.  This will be used to enhance your treatment and allow a personal/tailored experience. All information you provide will be treated confidentially. 

During your treatment you will recline in a comfortable chair designed for a Reflexology treatment.  You will only need to remove any footwear.  It is a good idea to wear loose, comfortable clothing.  This allows your treatment to include a massage to the lower leg. 

You have the option of having  calming music played, whilst your treatment takes place.
