Reflexology
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a technique that applies gentle pressure to your feet or hands to bring about a state of relaxation and help the body's own healing process.
Reflexology works in a similar way to acupressure and acupuncture. It is thought that there are certain points on the feet and hands that correspond to the organs and glands in the body. So by pressing and massaging these points it can stimulate energy pathways in the body. If any energy pathways are blocked reflexology aims to unblock them, allowing the energy to flow freely again which aims to restore balance to the body.
If your reflexologist feels tender, sensitive or crunchy sensations on the feet they say it can indicate that an area of your body is out of balance. By pressing the points and working them gently, reflexologists believe that it will kickstart your body's natural healing powers.
What happens in a Reflexology session?
We will begin the treatment by massaging your feet to loosen any tights muscles and to relax you. Reflexology is truly one of the most relaxing treatments you could enjoy. Next the therapist will ‘thumb walk’ around the foot following the layout of the systems of your body. The pressure should be gentle at first in order to asses whether any areas are tender, puffy, tight or ‘crunchy’, if they are this indicates imbalance in the area. The next round of thumb walking is used to treat the areas of imbalance and pressure may be increased where required.
You may feel odd sensations in your body such as stretching, pulling or ‘butterflies’, a common reaction is deep relaxation combined with a comforting feeling of clarity and well-being as the brain checks the areas of the body and is reassured that all is well. If you do have an illness or condition, Reflexology will encourage healing within the body, because of this rapid reaction to heal, some clients may experience mucus or a rumbly stomach, for example; some may cough or need to go to the toilet, occasionally clients have complained of a head ache or feeling ‘light-headed’, these are the only adverse effects you can expect as the body embarks on the healing process and a second treatment will usually calm any ill feelings by encouraging the healing to continue. We recommend a course of three sessions to get the most out of a Reflexology treatment.
