Welcome to tinahughes reflexology
What is Reflexology ?
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy that dates back to ancient Egypt, India, and China.
It works alongside conventional medicine and is recognised by the NHS, GPs, and hospices.
Reflexology works on the foundation that all organs and body systems are mirrored or reflected in smaller peripheral areas in the feet, hands, and ears. These areas are often referred to as 'reflex points'.
There are over seven thousand nerve endings in each foot, which are linked to the internal organs and body systems.
Stimulating these nerves using thumbs, fingers, and other specialist techniques sends information to the brain via the nervous system to encourage the body's own healing process, reduce pain and anxiety, promote relaxation, improve circulation, and much more!
Reflexology is an excellent calming, relaxing therapy which helps optimise the body's healing mechanisms.
Reflexology is suitable for all ages and stages of life and can relieve a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

WHAT TO EXPECT?
Your initial consultation will include a free consultation. We will discuss your needs, and I will ask you for information that will help me formulate a treatment plan for you.
This information will be kept confidential, and I will ask you to sign a GDPR form and a consent form at your first appointment.
I recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing on the day to keep you as comfortable as possible.
You will be asked to remove your socks and shoes only.
You will be made comfortable on the massage couch. If you prefer, I have a Lafuma reclining chair.
I will start by cleansing your feet and applying a natural foot balm. I will then use my hands to apply pressure to your feet and lower leg. Some areas may be tender, and some sensations can be felt throughout the body when working with the nerves.
Generally, you should find the experience relaxing. However, some areas of imbalance may show up as tender spots, and I always work within my clients' comfort zones.
