Reflexology

Reflexology is a complementary therapy involving gentle pressure applied to specific points of the feet or hands, which can be effective in promoting deep relaxation, reducing stress and promoting wellbeing.

During the treatment gentle pressure and massage are used on certain points of the feet or hands which correspond to organs, glands and systems in the body. Gentle pressure and massaging these points using precise techniques can stimulate energy pathways to the body, supporting the body’s natural ability to rebalance and heal.

Reflexology can provide a period of time for relaxation where the client has one -to-one attention and supportive touch. Reflexology can be used safely alongside standard healthcare to promote improved health and wellbeing.

Who is reflexology for?

In short, everybody can benefit from reflexology, regardless of age or health status. Widley recognised for its calming effects, reflexology can help reduce anxiety and stress, promote relaxation and sleep.

People dealing with chronic conditions, such as joint pain, migraines, digestive issues or hormonal imbalances may find reflexology supportive in managing symptoms.

What happens during a treatment?

The consultation beings with a discussion on health, lifestyle and any specific concerns. A treatment takes place in a reclining chair, fully clothed except for shoes or socks and you are covered in a warm blanket.

Using a variety of pressures using thumbs or fingers, the reflexologist applies gentle pressure to reflex points which correspond to carious organs, glands and systems within the body.

Throughout the treatment you may be asked how you are you feeling and adjust pressure or to focus on particular areas.
