What is reflexology?
 
The art of reflexology can be traced back to ancient China, India and Egypt. It is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body.  It is a unique method of using the thumbs and fingers on these reflex areas.

How can reflexology help me?
Reflexology can bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. It is used mostly for: -
 

  • Relieving stress and tension
  • Improving circulation and blood flow
  • Helping the body naturally reach a state of haemostasis. 

Once a patient has reached a satisfactory outcome, the majority of patients continue with regular treatments as a way of maintaining health and well-being and reducing their vulnerability to re-occurence.

What will the Reflexologist do for me?
 
You will be given a full consultation by the Reflexologist in order to determine your present and past health and lifestyle. The Reflexologist will then use their hands to apply pressure to the feet. The Reflexologist will be able to detect changes in specific reflex points on the feet and by working on these points may affect the corresponding organ or system of the body. A session usually last for about an hour and a course of treatments may be beneficial.
Have you a condition that reflexology can treat?
 
Reflexology has been shown to have been effective within all the body systems:
  • Skeletal i.e. Arthritis
  • Nervous i.e. Stress, Insomnia
  • Muscular i.e. Strains and sprains

Can you remember the last time you switched the phone off and had some "me time"?
 
When was the last time you took time to relax, recharge and reboot yourself to help you deal with the ever increasing stress of your life?
 
Kirsten uses the key principles of using reflexology to enable your body and mind to perform to their full potential, helping you to handle and overcome illness brought on through everyday stresses 
 
This is your time to relax and escape.
 
 
Many people use reflexology as a method of relaxing the mind and body to counteract stress. However, many doctors and other health care professionals recognise reflexology as a well established, respected and effective therapy.
 
Of course, you do not have to wait for disease to manifest itself in your body to enjoy the benefits of reflexology.

Testimonials

We at Back2Life Clinic all think that Kirsten is fabulous, but don't just take our word for it............ 

 

  

“2 years ago I went through a huge life change and the difficulties it presented resulted in me having to take a lot of time off work.    I was put on a long term course of anti-depressants which although helped a little were only masking the problems.  My GP suggested I try some complementary therapy in addition to my treatment and on the recommendation of a close friend I contacted Kirsten".

"She asked a few questions about what I was hoping to gain from the treatment and then gave me my first treatment.  It was amazing, I knew exactly which parts of my body she was working on just through my feet!  It gave me a fantastic lift which although didn't take over from my medication it has certainly allowed it to be reduced and for me to really start taking life on again. "
 
"Thank you so much Kirsten, you are a God-Send!”

"I received a reflexology treatment on both feet as a friend suggested it might be beneficial due to the manual aspect of my work, which sees me climbing up and down ladders around 80 times a day.  This can take its toll directly on my feet and can have a detrimental effect on other areas of my body". 
 
"The benefits I felt were immediate as I felt completely relaxed during the treatment which I felt was extremely therapeutic.  I try to have a treatment as often as possible and would highly recommend anyone to visit Back2Life Clinic and take a treatment from Kirsten."

"After years of suffering from chronic constipation, 26 to be accurate, Kirsten advised me to have six weekly sessions of reflexology with her. We discussed the aim of the full treatment, and together looked at changes I could simply make in my life to continue the work that she had given during a treatment".
 
"At the end of six weeks I was delighted, although not completely free, I could manage my condition so much better, it was reduced to a level where medication was no longer necessary, something which I had never considered would be possible".
 
"Now I get a treatment every 6 weeks and thoroughly enjoy simply being relaxed, knowing also that my own body is learning to taking care of itself."
