What is Reflexology?
| Foot reflexology is a simple, non-invasive method to help balance the body.
It has been described as a natural therapy that requires the application of a specific type of pressure on particular areas of the feet.
It is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet which correspond to every part of the body.
Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body will be in a state of "imbalance", and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.

A Western Reflexologist uses their fingers, thumbs and knuckles to apply pressure to the feet. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these points the Reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased, and circulation and elimination is improved. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.
Since reflexology treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from treatment.
| Reflexology is suitable for:
Acute and chronic conditions
Sleep disorders
Preventative therapy
Stress related conditions (i.e. Migraine, fatigue)
High blood pressure
Muscular Skeletal conditions (i.e. FMS, Arthritis)
Allergies |

Treatment
On your first visit you will have a consultation before been made comfortable on the recliner chair. I will then begin the investigatory session working your feet, or hands if necessary, noting problem areas. There may be discomfort in some places, but it is an indication of congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the body. For the most part, the sensation is relaxing, pleasant and soothing.
Usually a treatment session lasts 45 minutes. A course of treatment varies in length depending on your body's needs. After the investigatory treatment I will discuss my findings and a treatment plan with you.
After the first treatment or two your body may respond in a very definite way: you may have a feeling of well-being and relaxation; or you may feel lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory. It is, however, vital information for Reflexologists, as it shows how your body is responding to treatment.
As a practitioner of Reflexology I am professionally qualified and a member of the Association of Reflexologists and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.
The Association of Reflexologists is the UK's foremost Reflexology organisation. It is recognised by the UK government, the NHS and has reciprocal links with all the European Reflexology organisations. All AoR schools are also accredited by ABC Awards (affiliated to the Quality Curriculum Authority (QCA).
The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council has been developed with the help of complementary healthcare practitioners and with support from the Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health. The Department of Health has consistently supported the CNHC throughout its start-up period and is committed to establishing the CNHC as the national voluntary regulator in the complementary healthcare field.
A Reflexology treatment complements conventional medication.
