What
is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a therapy which has been used for hundreds of years. It is both relaxing and beneficial for many conditions. It is based on the principle that precise areas of the feet correspond to all of the organs and systems of the body. By stimulating these areas using a specific massage technique there is an effect on the represented parts within the body.
Reflexology treats the body as a whole, thereby allowing action on the symptoms as well as the underlying cause. In addition to the presenting complaint it is popular for maintaining good health and general relaxation. This is particularly important in today's society since many people suffer from stress and tension which is a well-known cause for ill-health, therefore highlighting the importance of relaxation and overall body maintenance as a preventative to this.
What to expect from your first session.
A discussion of the client's medical history, everyday activities and general well-being, will be recorded and an observation of the feet will be carried out.
Following this, a reflexology treatment will be given. This involves a systematic massage of both feet.
Treatments are performed in a relaxed and calming environment, within the privacy of a well-equipped treatment room.
