Reflexology is a therapeutic practice based on the principle that specific areas on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By applying pressure to these reflex points, practitioners believe they can promote healing and balance throughout the body. Reflexology is often used to reduce stress, enhance relaxation, improve circulation, and support overall well-being. While scientific evidence on its effectiveness is mixed, many people find reflexology beneficial as a complementary therapy for managing pain, stress, and other health concerns.
What Happens When You Go For A Treatment? Your first reflexology appointment will last approximately an hour (sometimes longer) and involves talking in detail about the nature of your main issue, any other issues and your general health. You will remove your shoes and socks and lie on a comfortable treatment couch in a relaxing, peaceful room. Lisa will massage and apply gentle pressure to different points on your feet and ankles whilst you relax. As she works on your feet, she will note any problem areas; there may be some discomfort in some places but it is fleeting and is an indication of congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the body. For the most part the sensation is very pleasant, soothing and relaxing. Usually a treatment lasts around 1 hour. The course of treatment varies depending on your body’s needs. After your treatment, Lisa will explain to you any particular health issues she has observed, and make recommendations for you to help support your health and well-being. It’s best to take it easy for a couple of hours after a treatment if possible. Subsequent treatments will last for an hour. Lisa will check how you’ve been feeling since your last appointment, any changes in your symptoms and gauge your progress. You can have as many or as few treatments as you wish.
