What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary health therapy, based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond with different organs, glands and structures within the body. Reflexology is believed to help areas of tension and encourage energy to flow more freely throughout the body. Reflexology is suitable for all ages and stages of life and can bring relief to a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions as well as working more preventatively in helping the body to maintain overall health and well-being.

Your 1st session would be an “Investigatory”session. It would start with a detailed consultation, then your treatment would be begin. I would lie you back in the chair and begin to work on your feet – this is an opportunity for you to relax and listen to your body. I will work your feet using different pressures and different techniques that I have been trained to use. I will pay extra attention to any out of balance reflexes. After the session we will discuss my findings and work together to help you further – whether that be me showing you how to perform reflexology on your hands, suggested reading for you or signposting you to a different complementary therapist – I will then write up my findings and create a bespoke treatment plan for you should you wish further reflexology treatments.
