reflexology
Reflexology is a non invasive therapy which involves massage and pressure techniques using the thumbs and fingers on the reflex areas found in the feet and hands. It is based on the principle that reflexes in the feet and hands and face correspond to each organ and structure in the body. These reflexes are like ‘mini maps’ of the body and are linked to those organs by energy channels, zones or meridians.
As well as being relaxing, reflexology can help with many health conditions by encouraging the body to heal itself.
Reflexology can be used to help treat many conditions including:
Digestive disorders e.g. IBS
Migraine / headaches
Joint / back pain
PMS (premenstrual syndrome)
Sleep disorders
Menopause
Pregnancy - helping with conception, during pregnancy and in the late stages from 37 weeks to get ready for the birth.
Infertility
Sinus problems
Stress related conditions
Emily also works with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 5 Element Reflexology and Gentle Release Therapy. Acupressure points and energy channels promote relaxation and wellbeing.
A reflexology appointment involves massage and pressure application treatment to the feet. You can choose to sit back or lie on a couch with your socks and shoes off.
Single appointments are available to aid general wellbeing, or a course of treatments (approximately four sessions) may help with particular condition/s.
