Reflexology

Reflexology

Reflexology with Therapies for Health is a commentary foot therapy that helps you to Relax, Re-harmonize and Regenerate body, mind and soul. A very happy client described his deeply relaxed state during his reflexology treatment as ‘ ..feeling like a pizza topping melting into a pizza!’

Relax, Re-harmonize and Regenerate

Some form of foot and hand treatment has been used for healing in many different cultures around the world for over 5000 years.  There is evidence of this depicted in the Tomb of Ankhmahor or ‘physicians tomb’ in Egypt.  The traditional Chinese meridian system was also developed from that time, and is still used for acupressure and acupuncture today.

Sensitivity of a foot is down to over 7000 nerve endings which are pressed or massaged in a treatment and formed the basis of Zone therapy, early days of mapping for reflexology treatments.  The two systems provide verifiable maps used in modern reflexology treatments.

Meridians, which offer one of several energy pathways of the body, is also used in Touch for Health Kinesiology and Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine, and recognised as a very powerful pathway of effective healing treatments. Reflexology, therefore, is not only deeply relaxing and effective in releasing congestion from the energy system, it also helps the healing process in the physical systems by harmonizing and allowing the body’s own healing mechanisms to regenerate the body.

What to Expect

Preparing:

We go through an intake form to outline the problem and what you wish to achieve.

You have to take responsibility for informing the therapist of any allergies or health issues so appropriate steps can be taken.

It is extremely important to let your reflexologist know if you are pregnant to adjust the treatment appropriately.

Whilst the benefits of reflexology are well recognised, it is intended to complement conventional medical treatment, not to replace it.  Please consult your doctor prior to treatment if currently on medication, so that your progress can be monitored, and any changes to your medication is only upon his/her advice.

There are some contra-indications to reflexology treatment but these can be discussed with your therapist at the time of booking, and modified or alternative treatments discussed.   

Please contact Julia prior to booking on 07810374914

The treatment:

Other than access to bare feet, you remain fully clothed at all times.

A session takes about an hour.

Treatment room is in Saundersfoot.

If necessary, treatment in your own home can be arranged under special circumstances.

The treatment is appropriate for all ages.  Parental consent is required for children under the age of 16 and a guardian is required to be present during treatment.

Treatment is carried out in complete confidentiality, with permissions sought for onward referrals if necessary.  By agreeing to treatment you are agreeing for your information and contact details to be retained for future use, until you advise otherwise in writing.

How often:

A single treatment is really relaxing and beneficial in itself even on a planned self care maintenance basis.

Issues that have taken time to manifest need a series of treatments for the body to respond and effect repair. At least 3 sessions are recommended, 6 for greater impact, then going into fewer intervals as the body responds. There are discounted rates for ongoing multiple sessions.

Aftercare requires rest and plenty of fluids for at least 24 hours to maximise benefit of ongoing healing as the body releases toxins which are flushed out of the system.  You may experience some effects such as tiredness, nausea, slight worsening of symptoms for up to 48 hours but keep drinking to flush the toxins out.  Speak to your therapist if concerned.

Disclaimer

If you are undergoing medical treatment you must seek approval from your doctor prior to having treatments so that the doctor can take this into account as he/she monitors your condition.

It is also your responsibility to advise your therapist you have done this and make her aware of your condition and medicines currently being taken, so she can ensure this is taken in to consideration prior to treatment.

Whist the therapist will take details about your medical history for the purpose to providing an appropriate treatment, no diagnoses are offered.  Treatment is offered as a complementary, self care choice, not an alternative to medical treatment.

Policy for Late Arrival

It is understood there are many circumstances that mean you may be late for your appointment.  Unfortunately that will mean that your session time will be reduced accordingly unless we are in a position to make allowances with available time, which is at the discretion of the therapist.  It is important for you to contact the therapist if you believe you will be delayed, which will be much appreciated.

Cancellation Policy

Again, there are many life circumstances that can challenge your ability to take up the booked appointment.  Providing 24 hours notice can be given to my mobile number (07810 374914) then this can be accommodated at no extra charge.  If you are expected by the therapist, all manor of preparations will have been made.  This will include heating the space, time spent preparing the treatment room,  materials and equipment to be used.  This all takes time and has cost implications.  In particularly busy times, when other clients are waiting to be seen, further loss of earnings can be incurred.  You are respectfully asked to understand that is why a charge of up to the full treatment price may be incurred.  Notice of at least 24 hours prior to the appointment is, therefore more beneficial for both client and therapist.  Thank you in anticipation of your consideration in this matter.
