Will Reflexology help me?
Reflexology is a massage of the feet using a specific massage technique which stimulates the organs and systems in the body. Different points on the feet correspond to various areas of the body and by stimulating these points it is possible to promote relaxation and overall well-being.
Your body’s nervous system is all connected. Applying pressure, or even touching, areas of your feet is believed to calm your central nervous system and promote relaxation.
Treatment lasts for either 45 minutes or one hour It is also possible to combine reflexology with another therapy, either Reiki, Indian Head Massage or Cranio-Sacral Therapy.
Contra-indications to having a reflexology treatment include:
Infectious diseases
DVT/blood clots
Injuries or wounds on feet/recent surgery
Early stages of pregnancy
What happens during a Reflexology treatment?
During a Reflexology treatment you will be lying on a couch fully clothed and you will be asked to remove your socks and shoes. The therapist will clean your feet and apply cream./ lotion and then the specific massage technique will be used to stimulate various organs and systems in the body.
During the treatment, if there are blockages in particular areas you may experience a slight sensitivity. Overall it is a deeply relaxing treatment.
After the treatment, your feet will be dried with a towel. Aftercare information may be given to you before you leave.
