Reflexology is a wonderful, calming and relaxing treatment. It is not just foot massage but a precise complementary therapy using finger and thumb pressure to reflex points on your feet to relax you and help to relive stress, boost your energy levels and remove tension from your feet, body and mind. Sometimes certain areas of your feet may be slightly tender which could indicate a possible imbalance in the corresponding area of your body. If tenderness is felt the pressure can be adapted to suit your needs and comfort.
My reflexology treatments incorporate a strong element of relaxation massage of your foot and lower leg using loosening and stretching techniques assisting movement of your ankles and foot inducing relaxation of your body and mind.
I also carry out a thorough reflexology treatment using techniques that further assist to relax your nervous system which in turn helps to boost your general health and wellbeing. Many diseases are caused by stress and reflexology may help to relax the nervous system and restore balance to your body systems.
How Is Reflexology Applied
A reflexology treatment generally lasts for about 1 hour. Your First Reflexology treatment includes a thorough consultation to assist me to provide a treatment plan to suit your personal needs. Reflexology is normally carried out on your feet, you remain fully clothed apart from shoes and socks. You will be invited to relax on a reclining chair that I provide or sit in your own comfortable chair. I will cleanse your feet and then use a variety of techniques using my thumbs, fingers and knuckles to apply compression and massage to reflex areas on your feet. These techniques will be adapted to your individual needs and pressure. You may feel a sense of deep relaxation during your treatment and may even find yourself drifting off. I will leave you to relax at the end of your treatment for 10 minutes. I will review your treatment with you at the end of your appointment.
