What is Reflexology?

This is a highly specialised massage of the feet. It is a wonderful relaxing treatment dating back over two thousand years. Reflexology stimulates reflex points on the feet that correspond to key organs,  glands and the muscular-skeletal system of the body. By stimulating these points the body begins to release tension, circulation improves and by restoring channels of energy the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself is restored. You do not need to be unwell or stressed to benefit from Reflexology as it a very enjoyable experience with the benefit of helping you to maintain your good health.

What does a treatment involve?

On the first session I will ask you about your health, diet and lifestyle. You remove shoes and socks and lie on a treatment couch or reclining chair. I stimulate the reflex points on your  feet using a very precise form of gentle but firm pressure massage. During the treatment areas of imbalance in your body are detected by feeling the reflex points. It is not possible to state what the nature of the imbalance is but usually it is something you are already aware of (such as a pain in the back). The foot massage feels wonderful, although points of imbalance may feel uncomfortable; this is a sign that there is a blockage and that this point needs clearing. After the treatment you will feel very deeply relaxed. Many say they feel as if they are walking on air after the treatment. Treatment time is one hour.      

How many sessions will I need?

Reflexology is a treatment aimed at maintaining health and balance. If you have a particular condition then a course of four treatments at weekly intervals would be beneficial. After that treatments every two to four weeks help to maintain the balance and encourages well-being.

Treatments are available in Frome and Combe Grove Hotel and Country Club (Bath). www.combegrovemanor.com Home visits are also available in the Frome/Bath area.
