"During the six weeks prior to a hip replacement operation
I had two sessions of reflexology which resulted in a sense of relaxation
and general lessening of the discomfort in my leg and hip. After the
operation, the hospital nursing staff frequently remarked on my rapid
progress and I was home again after nine days, walking easily with one
stick."

The Gentle Touch™ Technique
There
are some differences between the Gentle Touch of Reflexology™
and some other forms of Reflexology.
Gentle Touch Reflexology™ uses the following to enhance
the benefits, experience and results of this therapy:
The lightness of touch
The incorporation of massage into
the treatment
The use of oil (as opposed to talcum powder
for example)
Treating both feet at the same time
to achieve on-going harmony
Using the way the body actually works when treating
the client
Using the skill of the Practitioner to pick
up information, rather than requiring the client to express
or show pain/discomfort before being able to assess where
the problem lies. (The Practitioner is a constant, whereas
the clients' pain perception can vary).
It is a very soothing and effective foot massage
that assists clients emotionally, physically and with their
energy levels.
The emphasis with the use of this Technique is in high standards
of training. This is especially important. The Gentle Touch™
Technique of Reflexology training courses are intensive and thorough,
and give students and Practitioners an extensive and wide range
of knowledge.
