Reflexology

Reflexology treatment

Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing. By reducing stress and tension, it can be extremely effective  in optimising good health and building resilience.

This touch therapy can be used for the support of Oncology conditions and for clients recieving treatments such as  chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It is particularly effective in treatment of acute and chronic pain caused by musculo-skeletal injuries, Multiple Sclerosis(MS), and auto-immune  conditions such as Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME).

Evidence supports the efficacy of refloxology in treating a variety of acute and chronic conditions, as a complimentary therapy in fertility and as a powerful stress relieving treatment

How will I feel after a reflexology treatment?

Most people note a sense of well-being and relaxation; however, sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is usually transitory and reflexologists believe that it is part of the healing process.
