REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is an ancient therapy dating back to Egyptian times.

It follows the theory of energy meridians running longitudinally through the body. Specific points on the feet relate to specific organs and systems within the body. Techniques utilised by the therapist enables the detection of possible congestion or ‘energy blockages’. The nervous system is particularly sensitive to reflexology, allowing the mind, body and emotions to be drawn together in harmony. Innate healing mechanisms already present in the body are awakened and revitalised. Tissues and organs are given time to recuperate and, therefore, function more effectively. Reflexology can be a valuable way of maintaining equilibrium and peace of mind.

 

MASSAGE

Massage is an age old therapy that brings about feelings of wellbeing. Physically, it releases tension from muscles, enhances blood circulation and lymphatic flow. Manipulation of the soft tissue eases stress and creates warmth facilitating the flow of more oxygen and nutrients to the area. It can trigger deep relaxation allowing the body and its systems to slow down and recuperate.

Psychologically, it enables the body to feel positive and pleasurable, promoting a healthy self image.

It encourages the mind to rest and recover from mental fatigue.

Various techniques can be used to provide massage ranging from a gentle float-away treatment to a deep tissue massage focusing on problematic areas.

We are aware at Feelgood Focus that as individuals, our mental, physical and emotional health fluctuates. We encourage feedback from our clients to enable us to adapt accordingly. At times, a deep vigorous energising massage may be suitable, but if feeling a little fragile, a more soothing massage would benefit.

 

 

AROMATHERAPY

Aromatherapy is an unusual combination of science and art. Essential oils, derived from plants are extracted for their therapeutic properties. The beautiful natural oils can be from bark, leaf, stem or petal etc. The balance of chemical constituents within essential oils, provide them with their very different specific uses.

Once diluted, essential oils are applied to the skin using soothing massage techniques. The aromatic molecules pass directly through the skin and are absorbed by the body fluids and then circulated around the body in the blood stream.

Essential oils can be either stimulant or sedative in nature. They enrich sensory experience and their aromas can be useful in stimulating memory. The blending of essential oils can create beautiful unique smells whilst addressing various conditions.

At feelgood focus we ensure all blends are blended at safe percentages. We take into consideration any relevant contra-indications each of our clients may have relating to specific oils.

Diffusing essential oils is a useful way of gently influencing the atmosphere in a room and awakening the olfactory system. When carrying out our treatments this is something we like to do. Oils are affective through both inhalation and absorption. With massage, for example, the oils are absorbed by the skin and flow into the bloodstream. Massage and aromatherapy compliment each other beautifully, creating a sensory rich, luxuriant experience.
