Recommended Massage Times
Massage should not last longer than 10-15 minutes. Treatment
may be applied once or twice daily as desired. Allow the unit
to cool before using again. As a persons metabolism varies,
therefore so does their response to massage. You will soon
adjust your massage time to suit your particular needs and
personal comfort. If you have any concerns regarding the
treatment, we recommend that you consult your doctor.
How can reflexology help?
Due to injury, stress or illness, the body can end up in a state
of ‘imbalance’. Vital energy pathways can be blocked, which
can prevent the body from functioning properly.
Reflexology can be used to release these blockages and return
the body to its natural equilibrium, thus encouraging the
healing process.
Reflexology can be used to bring relief from a wide range of
acute and chronic conditions including headaches/migrane,
asthma, circulatory problems, back and neck problems,
digestive problems, stress and tension.
Who can benefit from reflexology?
Many people can benefit from reflexology as it treats the entire
body, rather than just the symptoms of disease. However it is
important that the following people take special care: pregnant
women, those with a history of thrombosis and those suffering
from chronic heart disease.
Using the reflexology node
Please refer to the above diagram to decide which area of the
foot you require massaged.Then place the desired section of
the foot over the reflexology node.
