Available therapies		What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the principle that there are reflex points on the hands and feet which correspond to all parts of the body’s glands, organs and structures. By stimulating these points the body can be encouraged to relieve stress, increase circulation, unblock energy channels and maintain a state of health.

		So What happens at a Reflexology Session?
		Reflexology is a holistic therapy that aims to treat the whole person rather than the symptom so before therapy starts the therapist will ask you questions about your health and lifestyle. The detailed questionnaires are structured to allow the therapist to gain an understanding of your physical, mental and emotional state. You will be asked to take off your shoes and socks and to sit in relaxed position with your feet raised, the therapist will wipe your feet over with a refreshing cleanser, examine them and then give you a relaxing foot massage before starting the actual pressure treatment. There may be a little discomfort when a sensitive area is treated but the pressure shouldn’t be hard enough to hurt. Normally the first session will take about 90 minutes including taking the medical history and filling in all the necessary forms, later sessions will be about 45 minutes although the appointment would normally be for an hour to allow you to review your progress with your therapist.
