What is reflexology and is it the treatment for me?

Reflexology is based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, tops, and sides of the feet correspond to different areas of the body. In this way, the feet can be seen as a ‘map’ of the body. By applying specialised massage techniques to specific reflex points - using the thumbs, fingers and knuckles – the aim of a reflexology treatment is to help restore balance to the body naturally, and improve the client’s general well-being. 

 

What to expect

Your therapist will start with a full consultation, asking various questions about your health and lifestyle, to ensure reflexology is right for you.

​

For the treatment itself you will remain fully clothed, simply removing your shoes and socks. You’ll be invited to relax on a reclining chair or treatment couch, or to put your feet up on a footstool. The therapist will gently cleanse your feet before applying a fine powder, cream of oil, to help provide a free-flowing treatment, and then start gently massaging and stretching your feet and ankles.

 

As the treatment progresses, a variety of different reflexology techniques will be used to ‘work’ the reflex points on each foot, including a caterpillar-like movement called ‘thumb walking’. The areas treated and pressure applied will be adapted to suit your individual needs.

​

Treatment generally lasts for 45 minutes to an hour, though shorter reflexology sessions may be more appropriate in some instances. (FHT)

What is massage and is it the treatment for me?

Before treatment we will provide a full consultation, asking you various questions about your health and lifestyle, to ensure treatment is right for you. 

​

Treatments take place on a massage table, though seated massage requires you to sit in a chair. Full body and back, neck shoulder massages involve the therapist directly massaging your skin, a nourishing oil or cream-based product will generally be used to provide a free-flowing massage, and towels carefully placed to ensure your modesty and keep you warm and comfortable throughout the treatment. Seated massage can take place with upper garments/straps removed or over clothes. Whatever type of massage you are having, your therapist will carefully explain before the treatment begins.

Benefits of massage

Massage is used by people for a variety of reasons. Some use it to simply relax and unwind, while others have regular massage to help them manage or cope with specific physical, mental & emotional problems or before and after training and competing, in order to stay in optimum condition and aid recovery.

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that massage can be effective in helping to treat certain chronic conditions, such as fibromyalgia and low back pain. In guidelines produced in 2009 by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), manual therapies - including massage – are recommended for the early management of persistent, non-specific low back pain. (FHT)

Massage can support with;

  • Stress, anxiety & depression

  • Sleep

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Immune system support

  • Muscle pain

  • Posture

  • Headaches

  • Focus

Massage should not be used in place of conventional medical care. Always consult a GP or other health professional for medical attention and advice.

What is aromatherapy and is it the treatment for me?

Aromatherapy is the use of plant essential oils for therapeutic purposes. Essential oils have been used in fragrances, flavourings and medicines for thousands of years and there are around 400 different oils extracted from plants all over the world. Each oil has its own special therapeutic properties, and can be used or applied in a variety of ways, including:

  • Body massage, with the oils blended in a carrier oil or cream (this is perhaps the most popular application of aromatherapy);

  • By adding a few drops to warm bath water (ideally diluted first);

  • Through steam inhalation or vaporisers;

  • In creams and lotions for individual use;

  • In compresses.

​

Essential oils, which are highly aromatic, are readily absorbed into the body via the skin and lungs, and are believed to affect the body on all levels - physically, mentally and even emotionally/spiritually. When combined with massage, which helps to soothe away muscular tension and improve circulation, an aromatherapy treatment can be either deeply relaxing or uplifting, depending on the oils and massage techniques used by the therapist.

Aromatherapy is used by people for a variety of reasons. Some use it to help them manage or cope with specific physical, mental or emotional problems, while others use it as means of relaxation, or to help maintain good health and a sense of general well-being.

​

Before you have an aromatherapy massage, your therapist will carry out a full consultation, asking you various questions about your medical history, general health, diet and lifestyle. This will enable them to select a small number of essential oils, appropriate to your individual needs, which will then be blended into a carrier oil or cream and applied to your skin as part of a massage treatment. The areas treated will come down to your personal preferences, but would typically be either a full body massage, or a neck, back and shoulder massage, with towels used to protect your modesty.

​

At the end of the treatment, your therapist may recommend that you use certain essential oils at home.
