Stimulation and inhibition of the transmission of the nerve impulses to the brain, particularly those involved in the autonomic nervous system.
The reduction of pain through gate Controlled and stimulation of the production of endorphins
The benefits of an hour's rest, stillness and quiet and
The psychological benefits of an hour's personal attention and care.

How will I feel after a Reflexology treatment ?

After one or two treatments, your body may respond in a very definite way. Most people note a sense of wellbeing and Relaxation; sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful but this is transitory and it is part of the healing Process.

This is important Information to feed back to the Reflexologist as it shows how your body is responding to the treatment. This will help the Reflexologist to tailor your treatment plan specific to your needs.

The most recent outbreak of measles is at Leeds University where so far 15 students have been affected. The first case was exposed during a skiing trip to France.
