What is reflexology
Reflexology is a complimentary therapy that works on the feet enabling the body to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body is in a state of "imbalance" and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively.
When we are stressed our body’s defences break down and we become more open to illness and disease. Medical doctors agree that many health issues today can be linked to stress. Reflexology supports the body to re-balance, to improve sleep and mood, relieve stress, enhance well being and many other benefits. It aims is to encourage the body to tap into its innate self healing abilities.
It is a deeply relaxing treatment where gentle pressure is applied to the feet with an application of pressure by therapists thumbs and occasionally their fingers too. It is based on the theory that our reflex points correspond to each organ and structure within the body and are linked to organs via the energy channels. By stimulating the reflex points we believe it will bring the body's natural balance and good health.
What to expect from reflexology treatment
I will ask you to be seated on a couch and ask you to remove your shoes and socks. I will complete a consent form and medical questionnaire in which will need you to detail medical history, current and historical. If you have medications please bring them along as they will have dosages on them. I do not store ANY data online anywhere, it is kept manually locked away. It is not necessary for a GP referral to try reflexology treatment but reflexology can not give a medical diagnosis and a client would not be discouraged from visiting their GP. I will recline you into a position of comfort and proceed with treatment. I will ask you to keep your eyes closed to aid calmness and relaxation. If you find yourself drifting off to sleep,that would be perfect!
