Reflexology

“I have to say that I was amazed. My sciatica pain went overnight after just my first treatment. Thank you so much”

 

What is Reflexology?


Reflexology is a therapy that deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands relevant to each and every part of the human body.

Reflexology is an incredibly relaxing treatment, and most people state that it relaxes tension, improves nerve and blood supply and restores balance (homeostasis) to the body.


Reflexology is done using a specific finger/thumb microstimulation technique on the pressure points of the feet or hands. This relaxes  and revitalises the body. It has been known to restore mental alertness and improve the attention span.

General benefits from the treatments can be found on our Benefits page.

What Happens During a Treatment?


A full consultation is taken before the treatment, checking for any contraindications to treatment. Details about your general health, medication, diet and hobbies will be discussed. You will then be asked to relax in a reclined position, either on a massage couch or recliner, and made as comfortable as possible.

The feet or hands will then be treated using the specific finger/thumb microstimulation technique of the pressure points. Either an oil based balm or powder may be used on the areas that are being worked on.

During the treatment you may feel some tenderness or textures in certain parts of the feet/hands. To aid the treatment you will be given a luxurious foot massage at the start and end of each treatment.

Follow up and after care advice will be given at the end of the session, and possibly some "homework", where you will be shown how to work specific points on your hands yourself in between treatments. General lifestyle advice, including dietary advice will also be given related to your individual needs.

Full treatments are 1 hour long, where specific concerns can be looked at further.

Half an hour treatments can also be done as general treatments or as an introduction.

The reflexology sessions can also be combined with any of the other therapies into a 1 ½ hour treatment.

 

Maternity & Fertility Reflexology


Maternity Reflexology is tailored to care for the mind, body and spirit of mother to be and the unborn baby. This can start as early as preconception, and then is carried out through all stages of pregnancy, labour and the post-natal period.

Many couples who are trying to conceive use reflexology as an aid. All treatments are catered for each individual so a treatment programme will be discussed with you at the first appointment.

Reflexology, is a safe and practical therapy for pregnant women, which can be safely used at any stage of the pregnancy if the treatments are given by a fully trained Maternity Reflexologist. The Maternity Reflexology sessions may help to energise and revitalise, as well as relax.

Many birth centres will allow a reflexologist to attend during labour. You should consult your midwife or birth centre to seek their permission before taking a reflexologist with you.
