Reflexology is a gentle and effective form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and sometimes to the hands. Reflexology aims to treat the individual as a whole, in order to induce a state of balance and harmony in body, mind and spirit. It is based on the belief that there are reflex areas on the feet and hands corresponding to all the parts of the body including major organs.
The Reflexologist stimulates and works on these organs and systems through the reflexes by applying pressure to the feet with thumb and fingers. During the first visit, a case history is taken in order to assess possible imbalances or problem areas. The patient is made comfortable on the adjustable treatment table and asked to remove shoes and socks. Once the feet have been cleansed, the treatment starts with a gentle and calming sequence which helps to relax the patient and guide the Reflexologist to any problem areas.
Many people benefit from Reflexology. It can bring relief from a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions and is suitable for all ages, including children.
We can also accommodate patients with limited mobility. The treatment is pleasant and soothing. However, each person responds to a treatment in a unique way. Patients are given an Aftercare Leaflet following the first treatment explaining possible reactions. Once the body has been rebalanced, regular treatments can help to maintain health and general well-being.
These include migraine, sinus problems, hormone imbalances, breathing disorders, digestive problems, circulatory problems, back problems, tension and stress.
