Reflexology massage is a non-intrusive complementary health therapy, based on the theory that different points on the feet and lower legs correspond with different areas of the body. It is suitable for all ages from children to the elderly as it is so gentle.

It's not a replacement for a medical appointment but it may sometimes provide helpful pointers.

Reflexology can be used to alleviate symptoms for a whole array of problems :

- Poor Sleep

- Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( IBS )

- Digestive problems

- Stress & Anxiety

- Migraines / Headaches

- Menopausal issues e.g bloating, hot flushes

- Hormonal Imbalances

- Back Pain

- Hormonal Imbalances

- Supporting those during cancer treatment

- Pregnancy problems

Your Reflexologist will start by chatting through any problems and concerns before getting you settled either on the treatment couch or in a specially reclined chair. You may choose to chat away or take some time to yourself - either way, just enjoy your time and gete th emost out of yor treatment.

Many people feel extremely relaxed during the treatment an even doze off ! Don't worry, if you snore we won't tell.

No, unlike traditional forms of massage you can remain fully clothed although it is often advisable to wear trousers that can be comfortably rolled up above the ankles.
