| Other than the removal of socks
and shoes, the client is fully clothed throughout the 1
hour treatment. Before the treatment begins, it’s
important for a reflexologist to gain a full understanding of
the client’s current conditions, contributory medical
and lifestyle factors. Depending on the client’s condition,
gentle pressure is then applied to specific reflex points and
each sequence and application of pressure will vary depending
on the client’s requirements and individual needs.
Clients may experience mild pain or discomfort in
certain areas of the foot yet this is just an indication of
congestion or an imbalance corresponding to a specific part
of the body. For the most part, the treatment is deeply relaxing
and often clients fall asleep soon into the treatment. Once
the treatment is complete, I will offer feedback on my findings
and answer any questions you might have about the treatment.
Depending on the client’s needs and condition, the following
body systems can be targeted through the reflex points in
the feet:
- Nervous
- Circulatory/Lymphatic
- Respiratory
- Digestive
- Urinary
- Reproductive
- Endocrine
- Skeletal
- Muscular
- Skin

Following a treatment,
individuals tend to experience a sense of well-being and deep
relaxation; and often rejuvenation and invigoration.
However, possible after-effects of reflexology can include nausea,
fatigue or a tendency to be tearful for a couple of days after
the treatment. This is perfectly natural and in some cases it
is possible that existing symptoms may worsen before improving;
for example, a cough or flu-like symptoms may develop before
you start to feel better. This is known as the ‘healing
crisis’; it simply indicates the body is in the process
of healing itself by eliminating toxins and releasing built
up tension. Therefore, it is very important to drink plenty
of water, particularly after a treatment, to help flush these
toxins from your system.
