Reflexology in Boroughbridge, Ripon & Knaresborough

Reflexology is a wonderfully nurturing, holistic treatment which has an all-over-body effect despite only working on your feet.

It is usually deeply relaxing and great for reducing tension, stress, anxiety, sleep problems and aches and pains.

Having an hour off to yourself can make all the difference to your coping mechanisms and usually feels fantastic!

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is ‘a system of massage used to relieve tension and treat illness, based on the theory that there are reflex points on the feet, hands, and head linked to every part of the body.’ Oxford English Dictionary.

That said, Reflexology is not ‘just’ a foot massage. It offers an all over body effect despite working only on the feet.

Firm but gentle pressure is applied to all the reflexes using a range of thumb-walking, holding, finger pressing and circular movements, along with massage to the lower legs and feet. 

Reflexology is usually deeply relaxing and is great for restoring a sense of calm and balance.

If the pressure I’m using is not right for you (too deep or not deep enough) please let me know during the treatment so I can adjust it to suit you.

What does a Reflexology treatment involve?

After getting you comfortable on the bed/couch/recliner chair and tucking you up in a blanket (if you’d like)

The treatment begins by gently refreshing your feet. Normally I use hot towels or wet wipes for this. It can feel deeply nurturing having your feet refreshed with my hot flannels.

I may then massage some body lotion into your feet. 

If you would prefer me to use your own body lotion or massage oil them please let me know.

The feet are then warmed up by using a range of massage and reflexology techniques. This is so that you get used to my touch and I can check that the pressure I’m using is ok with you.

I will then work in a systematic way down both feet, finishing with some cooling down/ waking up massage moves to calm and relax you.

Hopefully by the time I am finished you will feel relaxed, calmer, refreshed and less tense.

How to maximise the effects of your Reflexology treatment

After any treatment it is important to keep yourself well hydrated by sipping water or herbal tea.

If at all possible eat a light diet, avoid stimulants including caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, conflict etc.

Avoid spicy and greasy food and heavy meals.

Take a short stroll in the fresh air.

Read a book, take a nap, read a magazine or do some art. Avoid rushing around after your treatment. Where possible try to take the rest of the day off to rest, relax and recharge.

What might I notice after my reflexology treatment?

Hopefully you’ll feel calmer, relaxed and more able to cope after your treatment. You may feel refreshed and renewed or feel that you’ve been ‘clicked back together’. Sometimes you may feel tired or sleepy and need to take a nap.

Some people find they get emotional or find that something shifts for them mentally or emotionally. Reflexology affects us all individually in different ways.

You may feel more thirsty than usual, or need the loo (either way) more frequently.

You may notice a difference in your bowel habit. All these are normal and not to be worried about unless very severe.

If you feel at all headachey, achey or fluey please rest and drink plenty of water or herbal tea, it should pass within 24-48 hours.

If it doesn’t or is severe please contact your GP or 111.

Hopefully you’ll feel better in some way after your treatment!

Reflexology Foot Map AoR

Reflexology Foot Map

 Reflexologists use what we call a ‘foot map’ which is a diagram of the feet with the reflexes mapped out.

It is thought that pressing on the specific reflexes will restore balance to that organ, tissue or gland.

Sarah was warm, friendly and put me at ease straight away which led to a very enjoyable reflexology session. After my session I was left feeling relaxed, calm and extremely chilled out.
I would highly recommend Sarah if you’re considering reflexology. In fact I was so happy with her that I booked a second session before she even left.
