What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a theory and therapy that uses the feet to treat the whole body. It's a holistic therapy that works on all levels working to create balance in the body. The aim of the reflexology treatment is to restore our natural ability for self-healing, as a result energy flow is encouraged to flow freely around the body.
The areas of the feet act as a map of the body representing zones and pathways. Physical and mental well-being is maintained when the energy is flowing freely. If the energy flow is stagnant or blocked then we become ill. Gentle pressure is applied to points on the feet – known as reflexes – which are used to stimulate energy flow and release any blockages.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reflexology just like a foot massage?
Reflexology treatments do involve some massage techniques, particularly at the beginning of the session when getting the feet ready for treating. But reflexology is not specifically a massage therapy. Reflexology involves the stimulation of the reflex points using a foot map as guidance. Learn more here.

Is it ticklish?
As feet can be quite sensitive some people wrongly assume they will be too ticklish for reflexology. The treatment is not designed to be ticklish. The feet are held firmly and the Reflexologist applies the right amount of pressure, involving specific techniques.
Is the therapy diagnostic?
Reflexology should not be used as an alternative to seeking medical advice. It is not medical, it works holistically, therefore a Reflexologist cannot diagnose conditions or health problems. The aim of the therapy is to restore the body's natural ability for self-healing by encouraging energy flow around the body.
Is it painful?
Reflexology creates deep relaxation and calm and generally the experience should be relaxing, Sometimes there could be some reflex points which are a little bit more tender than others, due to imbalances in the energy pathways.
What should I wear during the reflexology session?
It's best to wear loose and comfortable clothing, the only clothing to be removed are socks, tights and shoes, all that is exposed are the feet and ankles.
What happens during the Reflexology session?
Your first appointment will include taking a thorough health consultation. You will then be asked to relax on the couch with feet exposed. Firstly, feet are cleansed and massaged gently before the treatment commences. during the treatment reflexology techniques such as thumb walking will be applied all over different areas of the feet. After the session the feet will be cleansed with hot towels leaving you and your feet feeling perfectly pampered.
How often should I have a treatment?
If you are looking for Reflexology to help with a specific condition then a course of regular sessions is advised. A lot of people enjoy having Reflexology treatments for maintaining their health and well-being and for just enjoying the deep relaxation and time out it provides.
