A TYPICAL SESSSION & FAQ'S
YOUR FIRST VISITAt the first treatment, a medical history and lifestyle consultation is taken.
This is to assess both past and present problems and gives an opportunity to chat with you about lifestyle choices, including diet, exercise and any stress factors in your life - stress being one of the main contributing factors for many of today's illnesses.
This is followed by an initial exploratory treatment, which usually takes 45 minutes to an hour, when a gentle massage to your feet is given to detect any areas of imbalance, disperse any energy blockages and aim to bring the body back to natural balance.
A course of treatment may be recommended depending on your body's needs.
SUBSEQUENT VISITS
Subsequent treatments last about 45 minutes to an hour and would begin with a short chat to assess how you felt immediately after your last treatment and how you have felt since.
This information is vital as it shows how your body is responding to the therapy and also allows for any necessary adjustment to the subsequent treatment.
CORPORATE TREATMENTS
Fortnightly or monthly treatments are an ideal way to combat stress and boost morale in the workplace. Equipment will be provided for these visits as needed. Treatments are usually for 30 minutes per person only.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many sessions will I need?
This depends entirely on the individual and your reasons for having Reflexology. A course of 4-6 sessions taken at weekly or fortnightly intervals may be needed if you have a long-standing condition, this helps to build up momentum and sustain results. Some people then like to have a course of monthly maintenance treatments. However, there are many factors to take into account before a treatment plan is formulated.
Will it be painful?
No, not at all. Sometimes sensitivity or tenderness is felt in any areas of imbalance but, once these areas of congestion are cleared, most people find it is a pleasant sensation.
You may also feel an increase or reduction in body temperature, feel relaxed and sleepy and experience tingling sensations over areas of the body as I work on them.
Does it tickle?
Most people find the treatment to be a relaxing and therapeutic experience and even people who say they have sensitive feet find that it doesn't tickle.
Do I need to undress?
No, just shoes and socks are taken off.
Are there any reasons why I can't have Reflexology?
There are some reservations or contra-indications to Reflexology and this would be discussed with you prior to any treatment being given, along with aftercare advice should you have a Reflexology treatment.
