5. What happens during a session

After an initial detailed case history is taken you will be invited to remove your shoes and socks/stockings* and then lie on a comfortable couch in peaceful surroundings.
During a treatment some clients may feel tingling, pinpricks or a sensation in the corresponding body part. The most common immediate side-effect is thirst and a deep restful feeling. Indeed few people stay awake through the whole treatment. Some people report diarrhoea or an urge to urinate. This is due to the purgative effect the treatment has. An after-effect of sluggishness or lethargy is also common following the first session.
After the treatment the proposed treatment plan and time scale involved will be discussed. The initial consultation will last at least one hour. Subsequent treatments will take 45 minutes or more, depending on need.
* Reflexologist works on bare feet so don’t worry about calluses – in fact, they may aid the practitioner in finding a problem.
