Reflexology is a holistic therapy in which pressure is applied to acupressure points on the feet. These reflexes connect to distinct areas of the body via nerve pathways and electromagnetic channels of energy called meridians. When the body is out of balance it is not functioning efficiently. By working the reflexes on the feet, an involuntary response is elicited in organs and glands connected by energy pathways to these specific reflexes. This sets a chain reaction in motion, which causes physiological changes to occur throughout the body systems. Anyone can benefit from Reflexology treatments; however, treatment will not be carried out if you have a Deep Vein Thrombosis. A full consultation will be taken at your first treatment to make sure that you are a suitable candidate for Reflexology. The effects of Reflexology may not remove the cause of diseases, but you can be made to feel more comfortable and your symptoms bearable. Reflexology treatments can improve your quality of life and enhance levels of health and welbeing. I will apply pressure to your feet using my thumb and fingers. The toes, soles, tops and sides of your feet will be massaged, plus the lower leg. If for any reason it is not possible to work an area on your feet, then the same technique can be applied to the hand, as similar reflexes can be found there. Although I use advanced techniques which may cause sensitive reflex points to feel sore as they are worked, I will never exceed your tolerance - although lots of people enjoy the 'sweet pain' sensation of having a deep theraputic treatment! Following a treatment you should feel thoroughly relaxed and invigorated. You should experience calm and a feeling of well-being, as stress and tension are relieved and your blood circulation is improved, leaving all the systems of your body functioning fully and in their natural equilibrium.
