Some frequenetly asked questions
Click on the question :
- Is it safe to have reflexology treatments while I am pregnant?
Yes, but only if treatments are carried out by a Reflexologist trained in specialised
maternity techniques. Certain areas on the feet need to be avoided during pregnancy
and you should choose a practitioner who has had the necessary training and is skilled
in this field. - What happens during a treatment?
A reflexology treatment will be carried out on bare feet and will take place while you
relax on a couch or reclining chair. Most people find the sensation pleasant and
soothing, though occasionally some discomfort may be felt. This could indicate an
imbalance in a corresponding part of the body and will ease as the session progresses.
After the treatment you should feel comfortably relaxed and calm. - How long will a treatment session last?
You should allow up to two hours for your initial appointment. I will ask you questions
about your lifestyle, diet, health and medical history, and there will be time to
discuss any issues that are of concern to you before the treatment begins. Subsequent
appointments will be for one hour. - How many treatments will I need?
It really depends on each individual. Initially I suggest that a new patient has two
treatments, perhaps a week apart, so that I can monitor carefully the effect the first
treatment has had. Thereafter weekly or fortnightly treatments would be very beneficial,
if finances allow. However many patients attend on a monthly basis and find this keeps
them in optimum health.
For long-term health issues an ongoing course of more frequent treatments may be
necessary, and for sub-fertility problems I will need to see patients at different times of
their menstrual cycle, to increase the chances of good results. - I can't bear the thought of having my feet touched. Does reflexology tickle?
Your sensitivity probably stems from a member of your family tickling your feet during
childhood! The pressure used during a treatment will be gentle but firm and should not
tickle even the most sensitive feet.
