Reflexology

Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing. Reducing stress in people’s lives can be key in optimising good health and building resilience.

 

Reflexology?

Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the belief that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which are believed to correspond to all organs and parts of the body. Some practitioners may also include work on points found in the face and ears. Reflexology works on an individual basis and may alleviate and improve symptoms such as everyday stress and tension.

During the initial consultation we will discuss your medical history, general health and your aims for the sessions. Sessions take place in a comfortable chair or couch. If it is to be performed on the feet, you will be asked to remove footwear and socks but other forms of reflexology require no removal of clothing. A visual and tactile examination of the area to be worked on takes place before beginning the precise reflexology massage movements. The particular types of movements involved require the application of an appropriate pressure using the thumb and fingers.
