REFLEXOLOGY //

 

Reflexology is a gentle and effective form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and sometimes to the hands. It is considered to be a holistic healing technique that aims to treat the individual as a whole, in order to induce a state of balance and harmony in body, mind and spirit. The treatment feels likes a gentle foot massage with the application of pressure using the thumbs and fingers.  Reflexology 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. 

During the first visit, a case history is taken in order to assess where there may be possible imbalances or problem areas. The client will be placed in a relaxing position on the treatment couch and will be asked to remove shoes and socks.  Once the feet have been cleansed, the treatment starts with a gentle relaxation sequence which helps to relax the client and guide the therapist to any problem areas.

Most people can benefit from Reflexology; it can bring relief to a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions and is suitable for all ages, including children. Once the body has been rebalanced, regular treatments can help to maintain health and general well-being.

On the whole, a Reflexology treatment is pleasant and soothing, it relaxes and at the same time stimulates the body’s own healing processes. It is especially beneficial for pregnant clients who may be suffering from hormonal imbalance and expected anxiety.
