Spinal Reflexology
An extremely effective technique, which focuses on treating the spinal reflex areas of each foot, enabling the practitioner to directly access the spinal nerve roots. By stimulating these nerve roots we are able to detect areas of the body which are not functioning as they should due to stress or illness.
What makes this different to a usual Reflexology treatment is the fact that both the organ and nerve that innervates the organ are treated. The positive changes help to normalise the body's functioning, helps to break down tension and alleviate stress and improve the nerve function and blood supply through out the body.
This technique helps to relieve pain and symptoms of many common conditions, improving general health and wellbeing.
What to expect from during Treatment
Your first appointment begins with a full consultation to establish your current state of health, medical history and presenting condition. During the treatment most people often feel extremely calm and relaxed and drift off into a light sleep. Sessions end with a discussion of sensitive areas found on the feet and finding out why this could be. Aftercare and advice will also be given.
Is Reflexology painful? No, however areas of sensitivity may be felt where there is an imbalance in the body, a current physical problem, a weak area or a passing state of stress.
How often will I need treatment? A one off session will be beneficial, particularly when stressed, but a course of treatments is generally recommended where there is a specific underlying condition. The frequency of treatment depends very much on each individual, how readily they respond, general health, age and how long standing the condition is.
When should I avoid treatment? Reflexology is not advisable during the first 3 months of pregnancy, if you have a fever, if you have athletes foot or any type infectious condition such as cold or flu. |
