Reflexology

Reflexology offers a holistic approach to managing anxiety, stress, and depression by focusing on key reflex points that directly correspond to the body’s stress response systems. The gentle yet targeted pressure applied during a session helps release tension, promoting relaxation and a sense of overall well-being. By stimulating the nervous system and encouraging the flow of energy throughout the body, reflexology aids in reducing stress hormone levels, fostering a calm and balanced mental state. Through this therapeutic touch, reflexology empowers individuals to manage their emotional health, providing a natural and soothing avenue for alleviating the burdens of anxiety, stress, and depression.
Moreover, reflexology’s impact extends beyond the physical realm, positively influencing the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers. This dual-action approach not only addresses the physical symptoms but also contributes to an improved emotional state. With its non-invasive nature and focus on restoring the body’s equilibrium, reflexology emerges as a complementary therapy that empowers individuals to navigate the challenges of anxiety, stress, and depression, promoting a harmonious balance between mind and body.
Furthermore, at Health&Feet, we believe in empowering you with tools to manage these feelings independently. Our reflexology sessions include guidance on self-treatment techniques and exercises that you can seamlessly incorporate into your routine at home. By providing you with the knowledge to address these concerns on your own, we aim to foster a lasting sense of well-being and equip you with valuable skills for self-care.

Menopause can have a big impact in the life of some women, marked by a range of physical and emotional symptoms such as hot flushes, fatigue, and changes in mood. If you wish to find an alternative way to control those menopausal symptoms, reflexology is your answer. At Health&Feet, we specialize in offering a supportive and stress-free environment for women going through perimenopause or menopause. Understanding the challenges of this life phase, we aim to address not only the physical symptoms but also the emotional toll it can take.
Menopausal clients often express struggles with low self-confidence, amplified by the multifaceted nature of menopausal symptoms and the pressure of society to defy aging. With a focus on listening, supporting, and providing relaxation, reflexology becomes a valuable ally in this transformative journey. By working on specific reflex points, such as the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and adrenal glands, reflexology helps reduce stress, a significant contributor to menopausal symptoms. It will help you restore your hormonal balance, and creating a harmonious connection between the body and soul.
In this next phase of your life, reflexology can be a valuable companion, providing relief, relaxation, and the support needed for a smoother menopausal journey.

Spinal Reflexology, a highly precise technique, targets the spinal reflexes on the feet with remarkable accuracy. By addressing the entire spine through the nerve roots emerging between each pair of vertebrae, this method has shown efficacy in addressing a myriad of issues, including headaches, muscle tension, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, respiratory challenges, digestion problems, and circulation issues.
The 31 pairs of spinal nerves extending from our spine to every part of our bodies—8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal—play a crucial role in transmitting motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and various body parts. In the spinal reflexology treatment, precise points on the feet are pressed and specific techniques are employed to activate the spinal reflexes. This approach not only energizes individual vertebrae but also helps identify any imbalances in the nerve roots.
Compression of a spinal nerve route can lead to interference in the nerve pathway, impacting the proper functioning of organs or specific body parts. Various factors, including injury, poor posture, infections, and spinal disorders like scoliosis, can contribute to nerve compression. Additionally, spinal reflexology recognizes the phenomenon of referred pain, where discomfort in one area is misinterpreted in the brain as originating from another. For instance, lower back pain during menstruation or pain in the wrist following whiplash exemplify how nerve routes may lead to unexpected areas of discomfort. With its precision and comprehensive approach, reflexology holds promise in unveiling the intricate connections between spinal health and overall well-being.

At Health&Feet, we use the Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD). Focused on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet, RLD is crafted to aid breast cancer survivors, when they suffer from secondary lymphoedema—a condition affecting around 20% of breast cancer patients post-treatment. Research indicates that those with lymphoedema face not only physical challenges but also psychological and emotional difficulties, highlighting the profound impact on their quality of life.
Overal lymphoedema is a chronic condition causing swelling in the body’s tissues, affecting areas like the arms or legs. At Health&Feet, we recognize the far-reaching impact of lymphoedema and acknowledge RLD as a promising modality. Beyond its application in managing lymphoedema, RLD has shown positive outcomes in various conditions, including arthritis, digestive issues, asthma, eczema, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, sinus problems, migraines, headaches, muscular tension, and premenstrual syndrome. As part of our commitment to holistic well-being, we invite you to explore the potential benefits of RLD for a range of conditions at Health&Feet.
