Reflexology is based on an ancient healing art that aims to treat the body, mind and spirit. It may also help in the reduction of pain and discomfort, as well as supporting and maintaining good health in a natural and preventative way. By using a specific pressure technique that works on precise reflex points on the hands or feet, it helps to clear away unwanted blocked energy throughout the body. It can also complement other treatments for many conditions, such as anxiety, asthma, headaches, digestive issues, fertility, PMS, sinusitis and is suitable for everyone from babies to end of life. Although reflexologists cannot diagnose or claim to offer a cure, they offer one-to-one support through listening, a safe environment and a professional, well trained touch, with bespoke treatments for each individual. Appointment provide a full consultation and all information is completely confidential. A reflexology treatment during this challenging time of the Covid-19 pandemic is a beneficial and powerful therapy to help boost the immune system, rebalance the body and restore positivity, aiding better mental health.
“From my first experience of reflexology I cannot recommend it enough. I left the appointment feeling like I was floating on air and all my stress and anxiety had melted away.”
Massage is a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being and no longer just found in spas and beauty salons but in clinics, hospitals and independent businesses. Once a female domain, it now has a large male clientele who benefit from the different techniques available used in sports, remedial and deep tissue massage. This hands-on complementary health therapy manipulates the muscles and other soft tissues of the body to improve health and keep the body in a balanced state. Life can be full of stresses and at some point we all experience the high and lows of day-to-day living: lack of sleep, loss of energy and the overwhelming feeling of not being able to cope in general. With today’s wonderful technologies and time-cutting devices we can become increasingly isolated from human touch. A massage, whether it is a 30-minute neck, shoulder and back, or a 60-minute full body can restore positivity and vigour, removing lethargy and negativity. Physical health issues such as digestive disorders, headaches, soft tissue strains and injuries, back pain, insomnia, stress and fibromyalgia are just some of the problems that can benefit.
"I had a massage for an ongoing neck stiffness issue caused by my type of work. The massage was very effective, releasing the stiffness and giving me the best night’s sleep in ages.”
If there was ever a time to try either of these complementary health treatments it is now.
Our health is a most precious gift and we owe it to ourselves to be the very best, healthiest and energised that we can. Be kind to your body and your body will be kind to you.
