Traditional Reflexology

Reflexology is a complementary therapy used by many to help with a wide range of issues including management of stress, insomnia, back and joint pain and to help improve feelings of low mood. The feet are like a mini map of the whole body and all the organs and systems are reflected on the feet in a similar arrangement as in the body. Reflex points are found on the soles, tops, inner and outer edges of the feet. Click on the foot map below to see where the reflexes are located and the area of the body they relate to. By working on these points known as reflexes with a thumb walking technique any signs of imbalance can be detected and stimulated to improve energy flow.

Graininess, cold temperature, heat and swelling can all be indications of imbalance. Both feet are treated as each foot represents half the body, they are treated alternately in a smooth even way. At the end of the session a note is taken of any reflexes out of balance and some aftercare advice is given to help maintain the beneficial effects of reflexology.

Occasionally after reflexology a healing response may be experienced. Feeling sleepy or going to the loo more often may be due to a release of toxins and can indicate a positive reaction to the treatment. Regular sips of water and rest following treatment will help these symptoms to pass quickly. Most people feel relaxed and calm and often benefit from a great night’s sleep after reflexology.

Each treatment usually lasts for approximately an hour, the initial treatment time will be longer as a consultation is required beforehand.
