What is Reflexology?

with Elaine in Ilford, Essex

Reflexology is an ancient holistic therapy practised predominately
on the feet, but often on the hands too. Following illness, stress,
injury or disease, the body is in a state of imbalance and the
vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning
effectively. By applying various pressure and massage techniques
to the feet, the body is stimulated to kick start its own natural
ability to heal itself.
The feet are seen as a mirror image of the body, with the toes
representing the head, where the toes join the feet are the shoulders,
the chest area is represented by the ball of the foot etc.
The sensitive trained hands of a reflexologist can detect deposits
and imbalances inside the feet and by working on these points/reflexes
the therapist can release these blockages and restore the flow
of energy/chi to the body.

What happens during a Reflexology treatment?
On your first visit we will chat about your general health,
so that I can get a picture of what’s happening both physically
and emotionally. Then I will ask you to remove any footwear and
socks/hosiery and sit or lie on my couch, which ever suits you.
Once you’re comfortable I’ll begin to work on your
feet. There may be minor discomfort in some places, this will
pass quickly and is often an indication of congestion or of an
imbalance in the corresponding part of the body. For most of
the session you will find it a pleasant and relaxing experience.
The session lasts about 1 hour, a course of treatment is usually
required to feel the real benefits of this holistic therapy;
the number will vary according to individual needs.
After your initial treatment , your body may respond in many
ways: you may feel, relaxed, lethargic, nauseous or even emotional,
but be rest assured this is only transient and is a sign that
your body is responding to the treatment.
