Reflexology in Brighton & Hove

Reflexology is a holistic, non-invasive therapy based on the principle that the whole body is mapped out on the feet and by applying gentle pressure to the reflex points on the feet the healing powers of the body are activated.

Whilst Reflexology as we know it today has been rediscovered in the mid to late 1800’s and further developed since, archaeological evidence of the use of hands and feet to achieve better health dates as far back as the ancient Chinese (2704 BCE), Japanese, Indians, Russians and Egyptians (2330 BCE).

In general terms, the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body, they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's equilibrium.

What does treatment involve?
 
Treatment is as individual as you are and will be tailored to your needs. Before the first treatment you will be asked to fill in a Health Questionnaire followed by a personal consultation. During the treatment you will lie on a massage table with only your feet bare. After a gentle warm-up both feet are treated individually by applying pressure. This is complemented by a massage to end the session.

Each session will last about an hour including consultation and, in most cases, a series of sessions is advised.

Clients who wish to maintain good health usually book regular sessions at weekly to monthly intervals—depending on their individual needs.
