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, I 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.

How will I feel after a Reflexology Treatment ?

Responses vary from person to person, usually most people feel a sense of relaxation, calmness and well-being, followed by an increase in energy levels. Very occasionally, some people experience a "Healing Crisis" but this only lasts for a day or so before they begin to feel the positive benefits from the treatment.

Preventative Healthcare

Reflexology improves the body's circulation of both blood and lymphatic fluid,encouraging improved absorption of nutrients from the diet and production of antibodies to fight infections, and assists in removal of toxins from our bodies-therefore our immune system becomes strenghthened. Regular Reflexology treatments are ideal for preventative healthcare.

Treatment

On the first visit I take a confidential consultation, this includes past and present medical history and an overview of your lifestyle.

Providing there are no medical contraindications this will be followed by an investigatory treatment session which allows me to detect any out of balance areas which may relate to your condition(s).

This enables me to devise an individual treatment plan for each client.

Treatment is carried out at Elite Feet Private Podiatry Practise based at Almondbury Surgery, Huddersfield. There is disabled access and parking facilities.
Some home visits may be arranged for clients with mobility issues and cannot attend the practise, there may be a small surcharge, dependent on the distance travelled.

Treatments are carried out in a clinic environment, which is warm, relaxing ,comfortable and is of the highest standard of hygiene.

Aromatherapy

I can use organic aromatherapy oils in the treatments, each client would have specific oils chosen that would help their condition(s) from oils that I am qualified and insured to use, in addition, I can make these into a product for home use, either a massage oil or a balm. Please contact us for more information and pricing.

Thai Seated Acupressure Massage

Traditional Ancient Thai massage is a unique form of bodywork, that incorporates Hatha yoga, acupressure, and reflexology with origins dating back about 2500 years. Massage has a unique style in each area of Thailand and has influences from China, India, Tibet and Burma.

It has a close relationship with Indian Ayurvedic medicine,yoga,Japanese Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese medicine The SEN lines used are similar in theory to Chinese Acupuncture. They follow the natural contour of the body as opposed to the energy paths of the organs.

Unlike the techniques used in Western massage or Swedish massage, the Thai method uses point pressure, muscle stretching and compression done in a rhythmic movement of gentle rocking. The bodywork is done fully clothed and no oils are used.
