Therapeutic Reflexology Treatments
Therapeutic Foot Reflexology
Details
Reflexology is categorised as a non-invasive complementary health therapy, providing deep relaxation.
The principle of reflexology is that specific areas on the feet, represent different organs and systems of the body, acting as reflex points. By applying gentle pressure on certain reflex point using specific thumb and finger techniques, our aim as reflexologists is to provide clients with an opportunity for relaxation, in a safe and supportive environment.
Reflexology does not diagnose or claim to cure and is suitable for all ages. Reflexology however should never be used as an alternative to seeking medical advice.
Reflexology can be a great solution for those, looking for a complimentary and holistic method.
When should I avoid this type of treatment?
- If you are already undergoing conventional medical treatment it is always advisable to consult your doctor and obtain their advice before receiving reflexology.
- If you are pregnant in your first trimester you should also avoid this treatment during this time. Again it is advisable to always consult your doctor during the pregnancy before undertaking any complementary therapies.
You should also avoid therapy if:
- You have an infectious condition affecting the feet, legs or ankles i.e. Ringworm or Athlete's Foot
- You have any other infectious or contagious condition
- You have any undiagnosed lumps, bumps or swellings in the treatment area
- You have had food poisoning or stomach upset in the 48 hrs prior to the session
