Reflexology works by applying gentle pressure to the reflex points of the feet which correspond to areas of the body. It is a relaxing treatment and can be especially beneficial for stress related conditions like irritable bowel and insomnia. After an initial consultation the treatment starts with a relaxing foot massage, before moving on to stimulate the reflex points. The pressure is firm but gentle and should not be ticklish but may not be the therapy for you if your feet are especially sensitive! Usually I like to treat the client whilst they lie comfortably on my treatment couch but sometimes sitting on a chair with legs elevated may be preferable, especially in clients with breathing or mobility issues.
Sessions are usually between 30 and 45 minutes and a chakra balance is offered after the treatment. As with all holistic therapies medical advice should be sort for any health issues and this treatment is complementary to any treatment you may be having, not an alternative to medical treatment.
