Who benefits from Reflexology?

A Reflexologist uses hands only to apply pressure to the feet or hands. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these points the Reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased, and circulation and elimination is improved. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.

Since reflexology treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from treatment. Reflexology is suitable for:

Indeed reflexology can benefit almost everyone. What Happens When You Go For Treatment? On your first visit there is a preliminary talk with the practitioner.

Usually a treatment session lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour. A course of treatment varies in length depending on your body's needs. I will discuss this with you at the first session. After the first treatment or two your body may respond in a very definite way: you may have a feeling of well-being and relaxation; or you may feel lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory. It is, however, vital information for Reflexologists, as it shows how your body is responding to treatment. I am professionally qualified and a member of the Association of Reflexologists.

As the recipient of reflexology, you will feel very relaxed and calm. Many clients report an increase in energy, and find that their productivity and creativity improves. General health also improves with the help of regular treatment, and we know it to help in a preventative way. Reflexology should be an enjoyable experience. Probably the worst thing that can happen to you at a treatment is that you will have the most relaxing hour ever! © AoR /Reflexologynow.com 2002
