Paediatric Reflexology (0-18yrs)

Reflexology is a non invasive gentle therapy suitable for babies from birth. Tiny babies, children and adults can all benefit from this ancient therapy that has been used for centuries to bring about healing, balance and a sense of well-being. It is based on the principle that all our body parts and bodily systems are reflected on the feet. By applying gentle massage and therapeutic touch to specific reflex points, will have an effect in the corresponding body part and whole child.

Paediatric treatments are shorter in length than adults, usually lasting 20/30 minutes or the length of time a child’s attention can be engaged. As a child progresses through secondary school, sessions may become longer and could range up to 45 minute sessions. These will be gauged on the individual child’s requirements for treatment. Older children are more than welcome to experience a treatment whilst plugging in their earphones and listening to music or watch their favourite programmes. This experience is all about them and treating them correspondingly.

Children seem to respond and react to the healing of reflexology at a quicker rate than adults, therefore seeing more noticeable changing in a shorter period of time.
