Reflexology is a Complementary Therapy that works on the feet or hands, enabling the body to heal itself. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.
Reflexology is based on the principle that all the organs, glands and other body parts are reflected on the feet and hands. It is a unique method of applying subtle pressure to the corresponding areas in the feet or the hands, using specific thumb and finger movements.
Reflexology has been shown to be effective for:
·Back pain
·Migraine
·Infertility
·Arthritis
·Sleep disorders
·Hormonal imbalances
·Sports injuries
·Digestive disorders
·Stress – related conditions
Reflexology does not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe.
Who can benefit from reflexology?
Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. After you have completed a course of reflexology treatment for a specific condition, many people find it beneficial to continue with regular treatments in order to maintain health and well-being.
What Happens When You Have a Reflexology Treatment?
On your first visit there is a preliminary consultation with the Reflexologist. The Reflexologist then begins to work on your feet, or hands if necessary, noting problem areas. There may be discomfort in some places, but it is fleeting, and is an indication of congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the body. For the most part, the sensation is pleasant and soothing.
Usually a treatment session lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour. A course of treatment varies in length depending on your body's needs. Your Reflexologist will discuss this with you at the first session.
