Reflexology
Price - £45
Reflexology is a gentle and effective holistic healing treatment that focuses on creating a state of balance and harmony. This holistic treatment is mainly performed on your feet, but the techniques can also be applied to your hands as well.
Reflexology has been recognised for its benefits for an exceedingly long time. There is evidence that the basis of this therapy was developed as early 4,000 BC in China. Foot therapies were also used by Native American tribes and Ancient Egyptians.
Reflexology is based on Zone Theory, the principle that our bodies are mapped by channels of energy, or “qi”. When the flow of that energy is blocked in some way, we can feel pain or generally unwell. The principle of reflexology is based upon mapping these channels to the associated body parts. Therefore, with the proper use of reflexology treatment, these channels can be freed, helping to correct imbalances and assisting the natural healing process. At the start of the session your feet are massaged to relax you before pressure is applied to a range of reflex points across your feet (or hands) that correspond to different parts of the body including major organs using specific finger and thumb techniques.
During this therapy you can be either seated in a chair or gently reclined on our massage couch. Shoes and socks are the only items of clothing required to be removed. Most people can benefit from reflexology, it can bring relief to a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. We also use detailed foot reflex maps to monitor changes between your appointments.
Overall, a reflexology treatment is pleasant and soothing, it relaxes and at the same time stimulates the body’s own healing processes. The of intention of reflexology is to trigger the return of homeostasis in the body, a state of equilibrium or balance. A full and comprehensive consultation will be completed prior to your treatment and your session can be adapted throughout to suit your needs and intentions.
