What is Reflexology ?
Reflexology is a complementary therapy, which uses the application of pressure to reflex points on the feet (or hands). It is based on the principle that there are specific reflex areas in the feet and hands that mirror every part of the body.
By applying pressure to these reflex areas, we stimulate the body's
own natural ability to heal itself. During time of ill health, stress or
injury, the body becomes out of balance. A properly trained
reflexologist will be able to detect these out of balance areas and will
work to release the blockages in these areas, restoring the body's
natural balance and begin the healing process. Reflexology is an
extremely relaxing experience.
Benefits
Reflexology brings relief to a wide variety of conditions but still treats the whole body. It may be necessary to have a course of treatments to bring relief to long term conditions but the relaxing benefits should be felt immediately.
Conditions that benefit from reflexology include:
- Back Pains
- Migraine / Headaches
- Stress related conditions
- Digestive disorders
- I.B.S.
- Muscular problems
- Eczema
- Arthritis
- Hormonal imbalances
- Infertility
- P.M.S and Menstrual problems
- Poor sleep patterns
Many people find it beneficial to have a regular treatment to maintain their health and well being.
Treatment
I am based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. A full consultation is taken on the first visit, which includes present and past medical conditions as well as an overview of your lifestyle. This enables the reflexologist to devise a treatments plan for each client. The treatment session will follow providing there are no contra-indications found in the consultation.
