When making arrangements for your first appointment you will need to allow up to1 ½ hours. This is because details of your medical history will need to be taken as well as an understanding of your lifestyle.

Then you will be put into a reclining position so that the Reflexologist has the best position to massage the feet. During this process, details are made of all points of congestion and these are discussed at the end of the session.

Reflexology aims to Re.Balance the body in a gentle and very relaxing way.

You will be encouraged to drink a glass or two of water after each treatment, to promote the effective elimination of toxins from the body.

For the 24 hours following you may experience some extra activity with the body’s elimination systems!

How does it work?

As with every form of massage therapy the therapist seeks congested points. Reflexology works best on the feet, but can be given as effectively on the hands. Congested points are often described as crystals under the skin, but sometimes these textural differences are difficult to describe.

Reflexology, like every therapy, is not a quick fix. It can have a very dynamic immediate effects, especially with musclo-skeletal pain. However, for many conditions it will be the accumulative effect of the treatments over a period of time that will work towards significant relief .

The therapist readily picks out these points and sometimes tenderness or sensitivity to these points is felt by the patient. It is momentary and any such pain is a good indication of what is wrong, i.e. where the body is out of balance.

The massage works to disperse these crystals and to open up the natural energy pathways which connects our nervous systems to our working body.

The therapy encourages the body back to a state of homeostasis, the natural state of balance, which promotes well being.
