What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a Complementary Therapy that works on the feet or hands enabling the body to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of “imbalance”, and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing.

 

A Reflexologist uses hands only to apply pressure to the feet. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these points the Reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased, and circulation and elimination is improved. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.

 

Who can benefit from Reflexology?

 

Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Reflexology treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease.

 

After you have completed a course of reflexology treatment for a specific condition, many people find it beneficial to continue with regular treatments in order to maintain health and well/being.

 

Indeed an increasing number of  people are using this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing and harmonising the mind and body and counteracting stress.

 

On the right you find a list of conditions that reflexology has been shown to be effective for.

 

What happens when I go for treatment?

 

On your first visit I will take a detailed medical history and then begin to work on your feet, or hands if necessary, noting problem areas. There may be discomfort in some places, but it is fleeting, and is an indication of congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the body. For the most part, the sensation is pleasant and soothing.

 

After the first treatment or two your body may respond in a very definite way. You may have a feeling of well/being and relaxation; or you may feel lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory and is part of the healing process. However it is vital information to feed back to me, as it shows how your body is responding to treatment.
