Reflexology

About Reflexology

Reflexology is a popular and relaxing holistic treatment based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, tops and sides of the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body.

Reflexologists work on the reflex points with their thumbs and fingers using specialised massage techniques, said to help correct imbalances throughout the body, and help release blocked energy

Reflexology is suitable for most people but there are certain conditions where you should avoid Reflexology. To ensure the continued well-being of clients all treatments begin with a consultation, which enables your therapist to make sure Reflexology is right for you. In some instances your doctor's permission may be required before treatment can commence, for example if you have diabetes.

A Reflexology treatment lasts for approximately an hour. As it is your feet being worked on you remain fully clothed; simply removing shoes and socks.

To gain maximum benefit from your Reflexology treatment it is advised to rest afterwards - this helps the body's natural healing process. It is also advised to drink plenty of water this helps flush away toxins.
