Reflexology This treatment is done to either the hands or the feet, more usually the feet.
I qualified as a Reflexologist in 2000 and since then have treated many people of varying ages.
My youngest clients have been children as young as 4 and and my oldest 85 years old. People of all ages seem to really enjoy Reflexology as well as reaping health benefits.
Many people seek Reflexology for specific ailments.
WOMENResearch has shown Reflexology to be helpful when treating women for
non specific pelvic pain, menstrual ailments, women with difficulty conceiving amongst many other ailments. PREGNANCY A piece of research conducted in Canada found that women who had 10 sessions of Reflexology during pregnancy had on average a 6 hour labour. Of course there were exceptions to this, but the Reflexology will almost certainly have been of benefit to mum and baby.
I have specialist training in Reflexology for sub Fertility and Pregnancy, also vertical Reflexology techniques.
I have found that Reflexology can bring about significant improvement in hormonal health both where fertility is an issue and also in perimenopause, menopause and in some cases where there is unexplained pelvic pain.
Often I will recommend nutritional support, exercises, and looking at lifestyle to see if that is playing a part in the symptoms you experience.
OTHER AILMENTS
Reflexologists treat individuals with any number of health conditions
children with stress and school anxiety
insomnia
digestive problems
back and neck pain
Individuals respond in quite different ways and that this is always a consideration when I devise a treatment plan.
GENERALLY
Start with three treatments at weekly intervals if at all possible.
Then together we evaluate your progress and change in symptoms and devise a plan of action.
As symptoms improve it is usual to space treatments further apart. Many clients continue to reap benefit if they have a monthly treatment, just increasing the treatments if there is a change in situation or symptoms.
Reflexology treatment is suitable for almost everyone, occasionally when a client has Diabetes, Epilepsy or uncontrolled high blood pressure or is undergoing treatment for cancer I need a Doctors note to say that treatment can go ahead.
HOT STONE REFLEXOLOGY
This is an extremely relaxing treatment which is also therapeutic in that it aims to treat ailments as conventional Reflexology does.
The treatment is unique as it combines a mixture of Eastern and Western techniques combined with Hot Stones.
The use of Hot Stones adds total luxury to your therapeutic treatment. Treatment begins with the application of Hot Stone Fusion techniques to relax the shoulders and neck, before progressing to specific reflexology points on the feet.
I am unaware of any other practitioners of Hot Stone Reflexology in Berkshire. So if you want to experience this wonderful therapy do contact me.
I highly recommend this treatment if Relaxation is what you are after. Feedback from my clients has been fantastic, they say it is 'relaxing', 'best nights sleep ever', 'balancing'.
Why not come and see what it is all about, experience a luxurious yet therapeutic treatment?
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Neck and shoulder tension can cause headaches, pain, tension and stop you enjoying the freedom of movement that you could enjoy.
Using advanced massage techniques many of these problems can be alleviated. It rarely takes just one treatment to bring around a sustained change, so a programme of treatment will be devised based on your individual symptoms. I will often suggest appropriate stretches and movements to support the treatment I give.
Low Back Pain can often be really improved by a course of massage treatments, I have advanced massage techniques which I use for your benefit.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE.
The most comfortable position for massage during the second and third trimester of pregnancy is side lying, in that position you can totally relax and allow me to stretch, release and sooth your aching shoulders or back. A full body treatment is given this benefits baby as well as you.
Why?
Massage improves circulation, can help relieve swelling in wrists and ankles, a relaxed mum can mean a more relaxed baby.
I would encourage pregnancy women to experience massage and reap the benefits of therapeutic massage given by a specialist practitioner.
