On your first visit to Pebbles to receive Reflexology our practitioner will chat to you to determine your current health and any existing conditions and your medical history. They will then use their hands to apply pressure to the feet. The application and the effect of the therapy is unique to each person. Our professionally trained practitioner can detect subtle changes in specific points on the feet and by working on these points may affect the corresponding organ or system of the body. A treatment session usually last for an hour and a course of treatment may be recommended. After your treatment your body may respond in a very definite way. Most people notice a sense of well-being and relaxation; sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this quickly passes and is part of the healing process. Our practitioner will want to know how it affects you so they can further tailor their treatment of you.
