Reflexology Massage

Reflexology is a focused pressure technique, based on the zone and reflexes on the feet which correspond to organs, glands and parts of the entire body. It is a simple non-invasive and natural way to achieve optimal health and a natural state of balance..

​

The benefits of Reflexology and how it works...

​

Reflexology is generally relaxing and can help alleviate symptoms of stress; it is also used in conjunction with medical treatments as a natural method of pain relief and to assist in optimal healing and recovery. Reflexology works on the entire body, reducing any constriction of blood vessels and improving circulation. It helps to break up and dissolve crystal deposits caused by an excess of uric acid, which has built up in the body and settles in the feet. Applying pressure and stimulating specific regions on the feet unblocks nerve impulses and improves circulation, leaving you feeling relaxed and re-energized, as well as helping to prevent and/or alleviate symptoms of diseases, health disorders, stress, and psychological problems.

​

Reflexology  -  What Techniques are used and how does it feel?

​

Reflexes are worked according to the body’s requirements & needs. A firm pressure is used when working on the reflexes of the feet.

Your therapist can identify a problematic area and address the dysfunction by using pressure to disperse the build-up of uric acid on the specific point and therefore restore optimal function to the area of the nerve ending.

One foot is worked on at a time and certain areas may be revisited during the session to help balance particular reflexes. Notes are taken throughout the treatment; this allows your therapist to make note of any problematic areas, as well as their response to treatment, which then enables optimal treatment plans and goal tracking for future appointments.

Reflexology feels different to each person, generally clients feel relaxed, however you may experience slight discomfort when muscle groups are being stimulated. When reflex points are activated it can feel like a bruise, comforting pressure, or warmth in the corresponding area of the body - again this can vary from person to person and even point to point. As with all our treatments at Medissage, it is important to communicate with your therapist throughout your treatment; giving them feedback enables them to tailor your treatment more appropriately for you and also allows them to answer any questions, worries, or curiosities you may have.

​

Reflexology  –  How long should my session be?

 

Your first Reflexology session will consist of an in-depth consultation and assessment prior to the hands-on treatment starting. In this, we will discuss your medical history, your lifestyle, diet, and how you are feeling physically and emotionally, so that we can tailor the treatment to your individual needs and to give you the best possible results.  Each standard treatment is approximately 60 minutes; for further benefits your therapist may recommend, or you can request, to extend to a 90minute session.
