What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing; reducing stress in people’s lives can be key in optimising good health and building resilience. It is a touch 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 and reflexologists work these points and areas.
However reflexology is viewed, there can be no doubt that what it does provide is a period of time for relaxation where the client has one to one attention and supportive touch in an empathetic listening environment. Reflexology can be used safely alongside standard healthcare to promote better health for their clients. - From the Association of Reflexologists (www.aor.org.uk).

What happens during a reflexology session?
A detailed consultation is taken before the treatment, checking for any contraindications to treatment. Details about your general health, medication, diet and hobbies will be discussed and why you would like the reflexology treatment.
You will then be asked to relax in a reclined position, either on a massage couch or recliner, in a darkened room and made as comfortable as possible with blankets and pillows and soft music.
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, or possibly around the body. 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.
The reflexology sessions can also be combined with any of the other therapies into a 1 ½ hour treatment or can be longer if there is a more specific consultation required (such as with fertility).
