Although the origins of Reflexology date back to Ancient Egypt, it's still new to many people. Here are just some of the questions I've been asked about Reflexology. If you have any others, just ask me in the comments below and I'll be happy to answer them.
WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is complementary health therapy involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, hand, ear or face.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Reflexology will bring your body back into balance. There are thousands of nerve endings on your feet which correspond to and send messages about specific parts of the body to and from your brain. It's also wonderfully relaxing!
WHAT HEALTH CONDITIONS CAN REFLEXOLOGY HELP WITH?
Reflexology is particularly beneficial for the relief of stress, tension and anxiety.
It can rebalance hormones, boost your immune system, improve your sleep, flush the body of toxins, and generally boost energy levels.
It can also aid with:
* arthritis and joint pain
* digestive health
* fertility and pregnancy
* headaches and migraines
* muscle aches and pains
* stress and anxiety
* respiratory health
*sleep disorders and insomnia
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE REFLEXOLOGY?
The number of treatments you will need depends on your ailment or condition, how you have had it and what you are hoping to achieve.
If you are focused on specific health issue, it is recommended that you have sessions once a week or two weeks apart for a month or two as a maintenance programme.
If you are having treatments to promote general relaxation and health, then I would suggest one session a month, however, the frequency of treatments is entirely up to you and your own personal preference.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE A TREATMENT?
It is a good idea not to eat a heavy meal less than an hour before your treatment. Drinking alcohol before attending your appointment is not advised either.
IS REFLEXOLOGY SAFE DURING PREGNANCY?
Yes, reflexology is totally safe and beneficial during pregnancy
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER MY TREATMENT?
Reflexology balances the body and promotes self healing.
Most people feel the benefit both during and after their first treatment.
However, for more longstanding issues it may take a few treatments for you to notice the improvement in your wellbeing.
HOW LONG DOES A REFLEXOLOGY TREATMENT LAST?
A standard reflexology treatment with me lasts for around 80 minutes.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY REXLEXOLOGY SESSION?
Wear comfortable clothing to your reflexology session. You will be lying on a reclining chair so you will want to feel relaxed.
