Reflexology is a gentle but powerful complementary therapy founded on the belief that energy zones running through your body are mapped in reflex areas on your feet, face and hands, where specific reflex points correspond to major organs, glands and systems of the body. By applying gentle pressure to reflex areas of the feet, face or hands a Reflexologist can stimulate the body's own natural healing processes to achieve a healthy balance. Evidence has been found for some form of foot and hand therapy being practised thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt and China and also by Native American Indians.
Reflexology aims to treat the individual as a whole, looking at their body, mind, social circumstances and emotions, creating a state of harmony in both body and mind. It has the benefit of also being a deeply relaxing therapy, and during periods of relaxation the body takes the opportunity to heal, restore and energise itself.
Reflexology is suitable for all ages, from baby to adult, and can be especially helpful for long-term and recurring conditions. Reflexology does not diagnose and does not cure though; as a complementary therapy it should not be considered an alternative to conventional medicine.
Reflexology is a wonderful way of maintaining your body's healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.
Reflexology can induce a deep state of relaxation, which improves the effectiveness of the treatment. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, and helping with the removal of waste products.
While Reflexology cannot claim to cure any health conditions, Reflexology can be particularly helpful in helping people living with a number of health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones that we might have come to accept over time as being a normal part of life.
How many treatments will I need?
Everyone is different and the response to Reflexology can be immediate or sometimes take longer than one appointment, but often the benefits will be felt after 4-5 sessions. Regular weekly treatments are best for the body properly beginning the self-healing process, and following an initial consultation I will suggest the number and frequency of Reflexology sessions I think we should undertake.
What happens in a treatment?
Foot and hand Reflexology is performed entirely on the feet, ankles or hands, so the most you’ll have to do is take off your socks and roll up your trousers! During the treatment the client lies on their back on my adjustable couch, supported by pillows, with gentle, soothing music playing in the background.
And don’t worry - reflexology doesn't tickle! Many clients come to me with ticklish feet or worried about their feet being touched, but find they can relax and enjoy the benefits of Reflexology.
Does reflexology hurt?
You might find some areas feel sensitive to the touch, but Reflexology does not involve hard pressure like a sports massage might. If a reflex area is sensitive I will encourage you to breathe deeply as I work on the reflex until it becomes less sensitive. As a therapist I will be aware of the status of your feet, noticing how they feel, the temperature and colour. All these things play a part in understanding which areas of your body - as reflected through your feet - require a bit more care and attention.
Can you diagnose my health problems?
Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure, but during a treatment we get 'feedback' as to which parts of the body are working well and which are not. Sometimes Reflexology will highlight a specific area which is working hard to maintain your wellbeing; if a particular reflex point shows this kind of reaction I'll discuss it with you at the end of the session.
What happens in Facial Reflexology?
Facial Reflexology is performed entirely on the face, working recognized zones and facial acupressure points.
You will not need to remove any clothing. During the treatment the client lies on their back on my comfortable couch, snuggled under a blanket, with gentle soothing music playing in the background. Many clients will fall asleep during the treatment as it is so relaxing.
