What is reflexology
Reflexology is a treatment that may benefit the whole body through the manipulation of the feet or hands.
Originally derived from a practice used by the Ancient Chinese and Egyptians, it was only in the last century that the feet and hands were considered to be a map of the body. Quite simply, they are divided into zones. All parts and organs of the body, internal and external, fall into these zones according to their position in the body.
Reflexology works on the principle that, through the manipulation of the feet or hands, the body’s energy channels are cleared. Physical or mental problems may arise due to blocked energy channels. These blockages manifest themselves in the feet or hands. A reflexology treatment will help to dissipate the blockages, correct imbalances, clear energy channels and restore the body’s equilibrium.
What happens
The first reflexology treatment is slightly different to subsequent treatments as a comprehensive medical overview is taken at the beginning. This gives me the chance to get a complete picture of your lifestyle as well as your health.
Once this is done, and your shoes and socks are removed, all you need to do is lie back and relax. I wipe your feet to remove any odours or traces of dirt – I can even treat you if you have verrucas, as long as they are covered. The treatment then begins. Some people find areas a little uncomfortable, or even painful, but this tenderness eases as it is massaged. These are the blockages that are being alleviated. You may become very drowsy, have a tingling sensation or feel energised – these are all normal reactions and indicate that the treatment is working. Afterwards, I record my findings.
The first treatment lasts approximately 1.25 hours and subsequent sessions last approximately 50 minutes. For an acute problem, you should aim to come once a week or fortnight; otherwise once a month is sufficient.
Result.
Directly after the treatment, it’s important to drink plenty of water. A lot of toxins are released so the water helps to flush them out of your system.
You are likely to have a deep, refreshing sleep but the following day, you might notice some less pleasant responses to the treatment. This is known as a “healing crisis” and responses may include strong-smelling breath or urine, a break-out of spots, a headache or even flu-like symptoms. These are signs that the toxins are working their way out of your body.
These responses are an important indication that you are recovering from your condition so please do inform me of them and that way I can note them on your records.
“I have reflexology to counteract a hectic job and lifestyle, as well as to help with hormonal ups and downs. Afterwards, I feel like my body and mind have been revitalised. After a year, my monthly treatment is less a treat and more a necessity!” MM
“I’ve suffered back and neck problems for years, following an accident. After a few reflexology sessions, the pain eased in a way I have never experienced, despite trying various other treatments. It has given me a new lease of life, not least due to the calming effect of the reflexology. ” MF
