When you come for your first reflexology session you will be asked to complete a
short medical questionnaire and give a reason for your visit. This helps to give the practitioner an
understanding of your health issues.
| You will be seated in a reclining chair and asked to remove your foot wear. The chair will be reclined and
pressure will be applied to the reflex points of both feet (or hands if more appropriate) starting with the right foot then the left.
On most occasions pressure will be applied to the reflex points using the side and tip of the thumb and the fingers
will be used to support the foot. |
|
Once pressure has been applied, the thumb
will be eased back off the reflex point and moved forward to the next point using a consistent pressure that should
not feel uncomfortable.
Some reflexes may feel tender or bruised to the patient, or feel gritty to the
practitioner, this will indicate to the practitioner that there is an imbalance in the corresponding part of the
body and a diagnosis can be made and treatment given to correct the
imbalance.

A Reflexology treatment session lasts for approximately
one hour and will end with some gentle foot exercises. After treatment the patient should feel very relaxed, possibly sleepy and sometimes energised.
Treatment is normally given once a week and the number of sessions
required depends on the condition being treated, but 4 – 6 sessions
are normally recommended for maximum benefit.
After the initial
sessions, some patients may wish to continue treatment on a monthly basis to prevent problems re-occurring or to maintain health and well
being. |
Sometimes patients may experience strong healing reactions after reflexology, such as: headaches, a more frequent need
to pass water, a runny nose, runny eyes or rashes. This is a result of the body eliminating toxins and these reactions should not be severe or long lasting.
Reflexology is suitable for people of all
ages as well as children and can be used for the treatment of conditions such
as:
- Stress & tension
- Back problems
- Migraines
- Infertility
- Sinus problems
- Breathing problems
- Digestive problems
- Hormonal imbalances
- Sleep disorders
- Allergies
