Reflexology

What is reflexology?

Reflexology like aromatherapy has been practised since ancient Egyptian times.

This therapy is the study of certain points, or "reflexes", in the feet which correspond to all parts of the body. By using specific techniques of holds and pressures on these reflexes the body is encouraged to achieve a more balanced state, an improvement in well-being and a better functioning immune system.

Reflexology can be useful in the relief of many conditions or symptoms - both emotional and physical. It is a pleasant treatment and one which can be very relaxing. The sessions are for 40 minutes.

If you have any query or concern about aromatherapy or reflexology following a treatment session, please contact your therapist via the Centre Manager.

If you have any other problems, then you should contact your GP or hospital in the usual way.

To maximise the benefits of these sessions try to rest afterwards and drink a glass or two of water.

Our reflexology sessions are limited to 40 minutes which includes consultation time at the first appointment. We will endeavour to offer a course of 4 sessions initially. Further appointments may be made following this or you may go onto a rota - thus enabling us to keep a few spaces free for emergencies. Please do not hesitate to contact the Centre Manger should you feel that you are in need of an urgent appointment.
