Foot Reflexology

The principle behind Reflexology is that every part of the body corresponds to specific areas in the feet, hands, face, or ears. As the body is mapped on the feet, it is therefore possible to treat the whole body by applying specific pressure to various parts of the feet. A condition or an illness is an imbalance in the body. An experienced practitioner will feel for congestion and tension in the areas and apply appropriate pressure. These techniques restore balance and free blocked energy, and ultimately allow the body to heal itself. Reflexology does not diagnose conditions, only a medical doctor can do this.

What happens during a treatment?

For the initial consultation a detailed medical and lifestyle history will be taken, prior to treatment commencing. Reflexology is a non invasive therapy, you lie back while your therapist works on your bare feet. You may feel some sensitivity during a treatment; however your trained practitioner will work within your comfort zone at all times.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on the condition being treated; some may require a weekly session for a period of time and then as the body begins to restore balance, the frequency falls.
