Reflexology & Foot Care Treatment

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient art of healing that dates back more than 3000 years. It is a technique that involves applying gentle pressure to reflex points in the foot which correspond to points in the body. By applying gentle pressure to these reflex points, it helps the body to rebalance itself from within.
Reflexology helps to rebalance the body, mind and soul. It may help to reduce stress and tension, relieve pain, improve bodily functions and generally restore the body to a better state which will ultimately improve your physical wellbeing.

How can reflexology help me?

Reflexology can be used to help restore the bodys natural state by encouraging the body to work naturally to restore its own health.
Whilst reflexology does not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe, it does work alongside any conventional medicines that have been prescribed by your doctor.
It may help many health problems including:

    Foot Health Treatments

    We all take our feet for granted and at different times our foot care needs change. As children, often the most common complaints are verrucas. As we get older, it becomes more and more important to look after our feet and often it becomes increasingly difficult to do this. This is the time when you need chiropody treatment.
    Treatments can be offered by chiropodists or podiatrists and foot health practitioners. Foot health practitioners are able to deal with the vast majority of everyday foot problems while chiropodists and podiatrists also offer foot surgery.
    During every treatment, I check the general condition of the feet and if there is anything that needs medical attention, you would be referred to the relevant podiatry service. This is a very important part of the treatment as most people do not see the underside of their feet or even check them over until they experience some discomfort.
    As a foot health practitioner, I am able to offer treatment and advice for a range of problems which affect people in their everyday life.
