REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology #01

 

What is Reflexology?

 

 

The theory is that Reflexology works on identified "reflex" points in the feet to encourage the body's natural re-balancing ability.  Reflex points refer to specific areas in the body, e.g. the neck reflex is located at the base of the big toe.

Pressure is applied to reflex points using the thumbs and fingers.  Working the feet in this way can allow the easing of tension, can help to improve circulation and elimination, and rebalance and address blockages to the flow of subtle energy within the system.

The experience of reflexology is unique to each person.  A majority will find the treatment immediately relaxing, whilst many will also feel uplifted and re-energised.  Whilst reflexology is intended to be much more than just a relaxing foot massage, the treatment uses pleasant massage techniques to warm, soothe and loosen up the feet

This gives way to a natural re-balancing of the body, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.


Who can benefit from Reflexology?

Everybody can benefit from this natural, non-invasive therapy. Reflexology will work with your current physical and emotional state, reducing stress and encouraging your body to heal to its natural state of health. It can be used either as a one-off relaxation treatment or on a regular basis in order to target specific health conditions.

What happens during a treatment?

At the first treatment, a full medical history and lifestyle consultation is taken. This enables Corinne to assess any current problems, to offer advice as to how to improve upon lifestyle choices (where appropriate), and to prepare the most beneficial treatment plan. You can then relax for up to 1 hour whilst Corinne works on your feet to dissipate energy blockages and re-balance your body's energies.

Subsequent treatments consist of a short consultation in order to assess how you are responding to the therapy followed by up to 1 hour of treatment.

Are there any side effects?

You may experience short term effects such as a headache, a sore throat, nausea or emotional ups and downs. These can manifest either directly after a treatment or a few hours later. You must NOT be discouraged by this as these are positive signs that your body is responding to the treatment. These short term effects are signals that your body is starting to take control of the healing process and is working hard to release stored and unwanted toxins. Any such symptoms generally last for just a few hours.
 

 

Testimonials

"I have been suffering from severe stress and anxiety for several years. This reached crisis point earlier this year and I knew I had to somehow resolve my problems. After seeing Corinne's advertisement, I contacted her and booked 6 initial treatments. After the 5th treatment I was feeling more able to cope with the stresses in my life and the 6th treatment left me sleeping like a baby. I am now continuing on a monthly maintenance program and am feeling the best I have in years".

"After trying many different therapies and following nutritional advice, I decided to try Reflexology to help my arthritis. At first I was sceptical but I decided to follow Corinne's advice and have one treatment per week for 6 weeks. By the 3rd treatment I could feel changes occurring in my body - my chest felt freer and the pain in my shoulders was subsiding. By the end of the 6 treatments my energy levels had risen considerably and I was able to perform day to day tasks that I could not have even contemplated prior to the treatments. All in all I have found this to be the most effective of all the therapies I have tried. Many thanks".

"I had not had a proper night's sleep during the last year and a friend recommended Reflexology to me. Corinne was very helpful, suggesting different methods of relaxation to me whilst performing the Reflexology treatments. Since having regular Reflexology with Corinne, my sleep patterns are no longer disturbed. I know when I start to feel slightly on edge that it is time for another treatment and it always does the trick".
