What is Reflexology?
Reflexology uses principles that date back thousands of years and is practiced today throughout the world. The theory behind Reflexology is that the body is mapped out on the feet and every part of the body has a corresponding reflex on the feet.

At your first appointment you will be given time and space to fully discuss your general health and well-being. This will provide the necessary detail to try to get to the root cause of the problem and therefore ensure that you treatment is as effective as possible. During the treatment itself you will feel comfortable and secure in a peaceful environment. Only your shoes and socks need to be removed and you will be free to relax and drift off during the treatment. |
To start a soothing foot massage will relax the body and calm the mind. The use of a moisturising cream ensures that the pressure applied to your feet is comfortable and not at all ticklish! Every part of the feet, and therefore every part of the body, is thoroughly but gently worked with finger and thumb pressure. Any blockages will be found and worked out in this way to treat current, and prevent future, health problems. The treatment itself takes a minimum of 45 minutes.
A number of treatments will be suggested to you at the outset and you will be fully supported and informed as your treatment progresses.

What can Reflexology help me with?
Reflexology has been used to treat a wide range of health problems including headaches and migraine, insomnia, digestive problems, general aches and pains including arthritis and many more, too numerous to list here. In fact there are practically no limits to what Reflexology can be used to treat. I have found that conditions caused by stress seem to respond particularly well to Reflexology, and as it is estimated that 80% of all health issues are stress related, this covers quite a few problems. In fact I believe that 80% is a conservative estimate and that nearly all health problems are in some way related to stress or tension, if only that the symptoms are made worse or more prolonged by worry and anxiety. (Also see my EFT pages for more advice on how to manage these negative emotions)
Reflexology can be used safely for most medical conditions and alongside medication and treatment from your doctor. If after taking a comprehensive medical history from you at your first appointment, there is any doubt as to whether Reflexology would be suitable for you, I may ask you to seek your GP’s permission. On these rare occasions where treatment may not be suitable I will of course not charge you for the appointment.
