Reflexology - The Benefits
Reflexology is suitable for all ages and at every stage of life. This gentle therapy may bring relief from a wide range of conditions, and has been shown to
- Reduce stress and induce relaxation
- Improve circulation (both blood and lymph)
- Provide a more efficient removal of toxins and impurities
- Allow the body to balance itself
- Revitalise energy
- Strengthen the immune system
The Treatment
A reflexology treatment lasts for 1 hour. The feet are normally used, so you simply remove shoes and socks and then sit in a comfortable treatment chair. Precise pressure techniques are used to treat specific points which correspond to all organs and systems of the body.
Following treatment, any findings will be discussed with you. A client aftercare advice sheet will be given to you with some self care advice. As the effects of reflexology are cumulative, many people find it beneficial to continue with regular treatments; eventually a once-a-month “top up” will keep your whole system in balance and leave you with a feeling of total well-being.
After Treatment
To gain maximum benefit from your reflexology treatment, try to rest and take things easy as this boosts the body’s natural healing abilities. Increasing the amount of water that you drink can help to flush the toxins and impurities out of your system, aiding the detoxifying process.
Just listen to your body and put aside time to relax.
