What Happens During a Reflexology Treatment?

What To Expect At The First Treatment:

At your first consultation, I will need to take full details of your health record and I will discuss with you any side affects and answer any questions you may have about your treatments. This will only take a few minutes - approximately 15 – 20 minutes. 

This consultation will give me the information I need to work with you, and help me decide on the best treatment plan for your health concerns.

Your Responsibility:

As a client it will be your responsibility to come with clean washed feet.  You will remove your socks and shoes and sit in a special reclining treatment chair for your session. Please don't feel that you need to have a pedicure before your visit and don't be embarrased about your feet. 

Treatment:

Before the sessions I will clean your feet with a solution of water and witch hazel. Following this I will exam your feet for any foot conditions such as colour, calluses, bunions, scars, lines and puffiness. These will help me get an idea of areas of imbalance in your body. I will then work on your feet one foot at a time, so the resting foot will be wrapped in a towel to keep warm while the other foot receives treatment.

Your treatment starts with a gentle ‘warm-up’ followed by the pressure focus technique which is applying  pressure to all  the reflex points of the feet.  This should not be painful, but some reflex points may be sensitive due to the imbalance in the body’s energy. Please let me know your level of discomfort on a 1-5 scale as this will help me adjust the pressure to your comfort and at the same time will assist me in tracking your progress through your follow up visits.

The session ends with an optional olive oil  foot massage. During and after the session, I will be making note of any tender reflex or areas of sensitivity in your session report. 

You are encouraged to drink a glass of water and lots of fluid during the day to assist the body to flush out all the toxins.  After the session, you may feel calm, relaxed or even sleepy. Others may feel energized and rejuvenated. Different people responds differently to the treatment.
