REFLEXOLOGY

 

Reflexology is an unintrusive, relaxing complementary therapy. Only the feet and lower ankles are worked on. Reflexology stimulates the body by reducing stress, accelerating the repair work and natural healing done by the body and boosts the immune system and balances the body. Reflexology encourages healing physically, mentally and emotionally.  Reflexology can begin to allow your body to initiate it’s own healing.

​

Reflexology works in a similar way to acupressure and acupuncture. Reflexologists believe there are certain points on the feet and hands. These points correspond to the organs and glands in the body. So by using gentle pressure on these points it can stimulate energy pathways in the body.  If any energy pathways are blocked reflexology aims to unblock them. Allowing the energy to flow freely again which aims to restore balance to the body. 

​

Prior to your first treatment, I will conduct a health and lifestyle consultation. This is done to help establish what your main reason for seeking treatment is and if there are any reasons why the treatment might not be appropriate for you, for example first trimester pregnancy, lymphatic cancer, after organ transplant. All information recorded will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act and will remain confidential.​

​

You will be asked to remove your shoes, socks and roll up your trousers to just below the knee.  If you have booked a luxury classic reflexology or luxury aroma-reflexology, a premium foot spa will be used to soak your feet.  The foot spa will have epsom salts to soothe tired feet along with bubbles and infrared lights to relieve inflammation. An indulgent foot scrub will be used to soften your feet. If you have booked the classic reflexology or aroma-reflexology, your feet will be cleansed at the start of the treatment with a hot wash mitt which is very soothing.

 

I will then start with a foot massage to help circulation. I will use a variety of reflexology techniques which will be adapted to suit your individual needs.  I have been trained in many different styles, some which will be suitable for you and some which won’t.

Walking Style - A traditional form of reflexology where the reflexes are pressed using one method of walking the thumb over the entire foot.

Massage - Massage techniques are used to stimulate the reflex points, and

Linking - This style uses energy, a bit like Reiki, a very light touch is used - one of my favourites!

Please do let me know if you have a preference and I will always ask you if the pressure of my touch is suitable.​

 

I will finish your treatment by cleansing your feet again so you don't slip when you get up! Don't worry if you fall asleep, it means your body needs the rest and recuperation. I will gently touch your shoulder to wake you. ​
