Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the belief that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which are believed to correspond to all organs and parts of the body. Some practitioners may also include work on points found in the face and ears.

Reflexology works on an individual basis and may alleviate and improve symptoms such as everyday stress and tension. During a typical Reflexology session the reflexologist will take a detailed medical history.

Sessions are usually performed on a heated couch. The client usually removes footwear and socks.

The practitioner will make a visual and tactile examination of the area to be worked before beginning the precise reflexology massage movements. The particular types of movements involved require the application of an appropriate pressure using thumb and fingers. Reflexology can be a wonderfully relaxing experience where you can take time out from everyday pressures. The therapists expert touch will help you relax which can help improve mood, aid sleep and relieve tension. Reflexology can also be beneficial for specific aches and pains eg; back of big toe represents the neck reflex.

Extra work can be applied to eliminate neck pain or specific pain in other body parts.
