Reflexology in Chesham

and the surrounding area 10 miles radius

It’s important to note that reflexologists do not diagnose or claim to cure any medical conditions. Reflexology is a holistic therapy that works to restore balance and support the body’s natural healing processes. It should complement—not replace—conventional medical care.

People turn to reflexology for various reasons, including:

Managing stress and anxiety-related conditions

Relieving pain

Improving sleep quality

Enhancing lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling, and aiding toxin elimination

Boosting circulation

Supporting pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and fertility

Addressing digestive concerns

Balancing hormones, such as in cases of menopause, PCOS, or irregular menstrual cycles

Alleviating symptoms of health conditions

Promoting overall wellbeing and tranquility

Expectation during a Reflexology Appointment:

Your first appointment will last about 70 minutes, as it includes a consultation. During this time, you'll complete a health and lifestyle questionnaire to outline your goals for the treatment. Together, you'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your concerns and needs. For subsequent appointments, expect a 60-minute session, with 45-50 minutes dedicated to reflexology. Once you're ready, you'll remove your socks and shoes and settle into a Lafuma chair with a cosy blanket and pillow. The session is entirely your choice—whether you prefer listen to a relaxing music or simply switch off. Your feet will be cleansed with water wipes, and the treatment will involve gentle finger and thumb pressure on the reflex points of your feet and lower legs, using a balm of your choice. Afterward, there will be time to discuss the session, any sensitive areas, and aftercare tips.

Expectation after treatment?

Expect to feel relaxed, calm, and energized, with an improved sense of well-being. Your sleep may become deeper and more restful. Some people experience a healing reaction, which might include feeling teary, tired, or lethargic for up to 48 hours—this is a normal part of the healing process.

When would you notice an improvement?

Reflexology's effects are cumulative, so 4-6 weekly treatments are recommended to kickstart healing and enhance your health and well-being. Chronic conditions may take longer to show improvement, but closer-together sessions can speed up results. Many people continue with fortnightly or monthly sessions for ongoing maintenance, to support health conditions, or to align with monthly cycles.

What to wear?

Opt for loose clothing and trousers that can be rolled up for comfort during the session.

Reflexology Contraindications

There are certain conditions that may temporarily prevent you from receiving reflexology treatments until you have fully recovered. These include:

Acute undiagnosed pain

Cellulitis

Contagious or notifiable diseases

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Drug or alcohol abuse

Gangrene

Awaiting medical tests or procedures

However, reflexology may still be an option for those with cuts, bruises, verrucas, corns, or fungal infections, as these areas can either be avoided or corresponding reflex points on the hands can be treated instead.
