What to expect during a Treatment

If you have never experienced Reflexology before you may be a little unsure as to what to expect. Below is a brief explanation of what will be involved in your session.  Please note you will always have the opportunity to ask any other questions before the treatment begins.

Before Treatment

Prior to your treatment we will have a 10- 20 minute consultation to discuss your basic lifestyle and medical history, with any medical problems you may be experiencing at the time.  This will enable me to adapt and tailor the treatment to your specific needs. Remember Reflexology is deeply relaxing and fantastic as an aid to help you relax and unwind after a stressful day in the office or at home.

The treatment is performed mainly on the feet with some pressure points on the lower legs, you will only need to remove your shoes and socks. You are advised to wear loose clothing so that there is no restriction and you can fully relax during your treatment. Massage is performed on the calves when required.

During Treatment

The first part of the treatment consists of gentle relaxation techniques at which point you may want to close your eyes.

For the next 45 minutes I will work on both feet, applying pressure and manipulating the reflexes to help your body to re-balance itself. Your session should be mostly soothing and enjoyable, although some areas of your feet may be sensitive or perhaps even a little uncomfortable when worked on.  This is nothing unusual and in fact shows where there may be an imbalance within your system that we need to work on further.

Throughout the session, I will make a note of which reflexes show any imbalance.  When the session is over we can discuss what I have found and you are free to ask any other questions.  

After Treatment

After the treatment you will probably feel deeply relaxed, even lethargic or you may feel totally revived and raring to go. Every client is individual so reactions will differ. On the odd occasion a client may feel nauseous or feel head tension, this is purely a signal that something is shifting within the body.These symptoms are nothing to worry about, in fact it shows your body is responding to the treatment. If a client does experience these symptoms, all that is required is rest and water to hydrate, these symptoms will soon pass and the benefits of your treatment will be felt.
