Take relaxation to the next level with Hot Stone Reflexology!

This is an incredibly indulgent treatment which enhances the benefits of a conventional reflexology. As the name implies, the treatment involves using smooth hot basalt volcanic stones on the feet to relax the body at its deepest level.

The heat brings about physiological and psychological changes, promoting a meditative state and influences the internal energy flow, bringing balance to the body and mind.

Hot Stone Reflexology combines the benefits of reflexology treatment with hot stone therapy for a deeply relaxing experience. It is estimated that one stroke of a hot stone is worth five strokes with the hand! It is also believed to yield five times deeper and five times longer lasting effects compared to reflexology alone.

Stones are firstly used to massage the lower legs relieving any tension in the calf muscles and helping to enhance energy flow. Smaller stones are then used to work the reflex areas and points of the feet. The heat from the stones quickly opens the reflex pathways bringing deeper level of relaxation than conventional reflexology.

Reflexology for Lymph Drainage (RLD) is a specific reflexology technique which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet that aim to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body. RLD treatment stimulates the flow of the lymph through the lymphatic system which explains the reduction of swelling.

This unique technique has been researched and developed by Sally Kay BSc(Hons), whilst working in Cancer Care, primarily to treat patients who have gone through treatment for breast cancer. It's common for breast cancer patients to develop lymphoedema - a swelling of the arm or leg - after the operation.

The swelling is a sign of damage to the lymph vessels or lymph nodes, which leaves a build up of fluid. Patients can experience such pronounced and painful swelling that movement becomes restricted and their body confidence plummets.

There's no cure for lymphoedema in traditional medicine so many people live with this painful condition, unaware that RLD is a scientifically proven holistic therapy capable of treating it.

A great advantage of RLD is that only the feet are worked avoiding direct touch to the affected area which may be painful. It is also deeply relaxing.
RLD is also effective for people with other (non-cancer related) more common conditions and for those suffering with auto-immune disorders.

The following listed conditions and more, can benefit:

 Arthritis
Asthma
Eczema
Chronic Fatigue
Fibromyalgia
ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Sinus problems
Migraines/Headaches
Muscular tension
Aches and pains
Premenstrual syndrome
Fluid retention

RLD is not only for those with the conditions listed above. It's also used a therapy to boost lymph system. People who may feel sluggish, lethargic and find it difficult to get going in the morning can use RLD to help them feel more energised.

Many people experience immediate result even after one session. Weekly treatments for a period of 4-6 weeks are recommended to achieve maximum improvement.
