Reflexology

Reflexology

Overview
Reflexology is a gentle natural healing therapy that is over 4,000 years old, that works on reflexes/points and areas of the feet and hands that relate to corresponding organs, glands and parts of the body and it’s systems. Using precise hand and finger techniques, a reflexologist can help improve circulation, induce relaxation and enabling homeostasis by restoring balance to the body.

    Consultation:
    On the first visit, the reflexology practitioner will conduct a full personal consultation. This will take into consideration your past and present health and lifestyle. The consultation enables the treatment to be tailored to your specific needs. In some instances it may be necessary to gain your doctors permission before treatment can commence. All this will be discussed on a confidential basis with your chosen practitioner.

    A reflexology treatment lasts for approximately one hour. As it is the feet which are generally treated you simply remove your socks and shoes. You will be invited to lie on a treatment couch. The reflexologist will then use their hands to apply precise pressure techniques to the feet treating specific points which correspond to all organs and systems of the body.Following treatment, any significant findings will be discussed with you. As the effects of reflexology are cumulative, many people find it beneficial to continue with regular treatments.
    In order to gain maximum benefit from your reflexology treatment try to rest and take things easy as this helps to boost the body’s natural healing abilities. Increasing the amount of water that you drink can help to flush the toxins out of your system thereby aiding the detoxifying process Just listen to your body and put aside time to relax. After one or two treatments your body may respond in a very definite way. Most people note a sense of well-being and relaxation; sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory and is a part of the healing process. This is vital information to feed back to the reflexologist as it shows how your body is responding to treatment. This will help the reflexologist to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.
