Reflexology
What is Reflexology & how can it help me?
Reflexology is a gentle non-intrusive complementary health therapy. Every organ and area of the body has a reflex point on the feet and hands, and manipulation of these points stimulates the corresponding organ or system. The feet have over 7,000 nerve endings that are connected to all parts of the body. A reflexologist uses hands only to apply gentle pressure to these reflex points.
It is suitable for all ages from the very young to the elderly and provides a natural way to support your health and wellbeing.
A reflexologist may detect tensions and small deposits in the feet, which indicate blockages to the body’s natural energy pathways. This causes imbalances and congestions which might result in symptoms or possibly disease. These obstructions may be stimulated by gentle pressure, releasing toxins and improving all circulations, which encourages the body’s natural ability to rebalance itself. 75% of disease is caused by stress, and reflexology is an excellent stress reducer. Because of this, reflexology is also a very good preventative healthcare.
Examples of common complaints that generally respond well are:
– Migraine
– Sleep disorders
– Skin problems
– Ear disorders
– Sinus problems, hay fever, breathing disorders
– Hormonal imbalances / fertility issues
– Back pains, neck pains, sciatica
– Development / learning difficulties
– Overdue birth
– Muscular and joint pain
– Stress related digestive disorders

What happens when I have a treatment?
On the first visit a consultation will take place in order to determine your past and present state of health and lifestyle.
It is only necessary to remove tights/socks and shoes to allow access to the feet and lower legs. Once settled, you don’t need to move until the end of the treatment, allowing for complete relaxation. Should you wish to move however the treatment is flexible. Your comfort and ability to relax is always paramount.
The feet are gently wiped down and an appropriate lotion is massaged into the feet. The treatment consists of a general massage of the feet, followed by stimulation to the reflexes in specific areas of the feet, ankles and toes.
A treatment lasts for approximately 60 minutes.
A course of treatments may be recommended. The application and effect of each treatment is unique to the individual and any possible side effects will be discussed prior to the Reflexology.
