Joanna Tomlinson Reflexology

A deeply relaxing treatment that can be enjoyed by any age – from newborns to those receiving end of life care.


It is a non-intrusive complementary therapy that works alongside traditional medicine, to promote the body’s natural healing abilities, based on the belief there are reflex points that correspond to organs and systems within the body. By treating the feet, tension is eased and pressure on the nerves and blood vessels is relaxed, thus improving flow to all parts of the body.


Reflexology can help treat digestive disorders, sinus congestions, depression, stress and insomnia, migraine, problems related to hormonal imbalance such as PMS, menopausal symptoms, acne, fertility and conception. Relax, enjoy and find out whether it works for you.

  1. I always begin a course of reflexology with consultation and keep a confidential record of progress from each session. In some instances I will require a doctor’s permission before commencement (diabetes sufferers for example) but in general reflexology is suitable for everyone.


Treatment lasts for approximately an hour, relaxing on a reclining chair or with your foot on a footstool, beginning with gentle cleansing, followed by a variety of reflexology techniques.


I recommend you get plenty of rest after and drink plenty of water to flush away toxins.

 

Reflexology – some facts

Feet have thousands of nerve endings making them very sensitive and responsive to treatment. Reflexology works on the principle that there are five zones across each foot corresponding to other areas of the body.
