Getting the most from your reflexology treatment
Your reflexology session is completely tailored to you. No formulaic treatment or set routines. So how can you get the most out of your visit? Prior to your first appointment you will have already completed and submitted your consultation form online. Before your actual hands-on reflexology begins, Jan will have a short chat with you covering the information you supplied on your form. This is also your opportunity to discuss your aims and goals that you would like to gain from your treatment. Following your consultation and initial reflexology session, Jan will build your personal, holistic treatment plan for your following visits.
In order to gain the most benefit from each of your sessions, the brief opening chat is your chance to discuss any changes you wish to be considered. This may include a new health concern or life-pressure which may mean a refocus to your existing reflexology plan. Of course, any information you give is completely confidential and securely stored.
A Reflexologist is a holistic practitioner, meaning they aim to treat the whole person, not just focusing on specific conditions. This is the reason you are asked to complete a medical history and lifestyle questionnaire prior to your first session; and why ongoing communication is so important.
Reflexology Techniques
Foot Reflexology
Standard reflexology practice, stimulating reflexes on the foot to connect with organs and systems to maintain homeostasis in the body.
Hand Reflexology
As effective as working on the feet. It can be used if there is a foot injury or deformity. I will often use hand reflexology as part of a synergistic treatment, for workshops and to give clients ‘homework’.
Reflexology Lymph Drainage
RLD is an award winning reflexology technique which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body. It is a unique sequence that has been researched and developed by Sally Kay.
Reflexology for Mental Health
The physical, mental and emotional benefits of reflexology make it particularly helpful for mental health related issues. Chi/energy balancing techniques, based upon Traditional Chinese Medicine, provide extra support either as a stand-alone treatment or used alongside standard reflexology.
Auricular Reflexology
Auricular (ear) reflexology can be used for most disorders and is particularly effective for pain relief and joint stiffness. Medicinal ear seeds (from the vaccaria plant) are used to reinforce a treatment between sessions and to provide a self-help option.
Fertility and Maternity Care
Reflexology techniques for balancing the endocrine and reproductive systems. It provides support for couples experiencing fertility problems and pre and postnatal care.
Limbic Reflexology
Limbic reflexology focuses on emotional responses and our response to the experience of pain. A specialist technique working reflex areas on the feet corresponding to the structures of the brain, largely responsible for filtering and responding to information from our external, and internal world.
Reflexology for Palliative Care
Reflexology can help with both the emotional and physical consequences of dealing with life-threatening illness. It can help to improve well-being, relieve anxiety and can often reduce side-effects of some medical treatments.
Reflexology for Menopause
Every woman and her menopause is unique. Symptoms may be mild or severely impact quality of life. Reflexology aims to support women in menopause, offering deep relaxation allowing the body to heal and repair, bringing relief from symptoms.
Reflexology to Aid Better Sleep
Insomnia affects 1 in 3 people in the UK. Too little sleep can be detrimental to cognitive function, cardiac health and mental health. Reflexology improves sleep by promoting relaxation, re-balancing sleep hormones and calming the nervous system.
N.E.P.I.P.
(Neuro-Endo-Psycho-Immuno-Pody)
Our bodies and minds are inextricably linked. NEPIP focuses on the nervous, endocrine, immune and limbic systems of the body and how the psychology of the mind adversely affects health and resistance to disease.
Meridian Reflexology
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), meridians are perceived to be a network of pathways conveying energy and blood (life force) around the body. Acupoints along the meridians are used in reflexology. The results of a treatment can be enhanced by incorporating meridian channels.
