What is Reproductive Reflexology?

Reproductive Reflexology (or Reproflexology™) is a specialised form of reflexology that helps to support reproductive health for everyone. 

It is the study of male and female reproductive systems and supporting these with a specific form of reflexology.

Who is Reproflexology™ for?

Reproflexology™ is for anyone who may be experiencing issues with their reproductive health, and have recently been medically diagnosed and are receiving treatment. 

This is a great way to support you in a complementary way.

How does Reproflexology™ work?

The care is focused around the people rather than symptoms.

We combine conventional and complementary therapies which focus on treating the whole person, rather than just isolated symptoms. This is called "integrative medicine".

Reproflexology™ uses specific and prescriptive treatment protocols to address reproductive and fertility health for both men and women.

This includes providing support to:

  • regulate menstrual cycles and ensure that each stage is functioning at its best
  • improve sperm production and functionality
  • assist any underlying conditions – male or female
  • track improvements by using results from medical testing
  • enhance both physical and mental health to optimal levels

What happens during a treatment?

When you first book your initial appointment we will send you links to complete out detailed consultation forms and questionnaires.

The first appointment is a longer session where we will go into more detail about your health and well-being, using the completed questionnaires and any medical results.  From this it will provide a better picture about the best way to proceed with the reflexology.

Once the consultation is done you will receive the first reflexology session.

You will 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 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.  The type of movements and pressures will vary throughout and will be personalised for your needs at that time.

During the treatment you may feel some tenderness or textures in certain parts of the feet, or possibly around the body.

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.

Following the session you will be emailed more detailed information and advice regarding your treatments and discussions will be made about the best schedule of treatments for your needs.

Further follow up treatments are 1 hour long, where the focus will vary each time.
