Mayfield Podiatry is now able to offer reflexology sessions at the clinic. If you have not tried it before the technique is similar to that of acupuncture, in that through the application of gentle pressure to your feet it aims to help the body's own healing processes and also bring about a state of general relaxation. Call or book online for an appointment.

Imagine your feet (or hands, or ears!) as mini maps of your entire body. By gently pressing specific points on these maps, reflexologists believe they can stimulate organs and systems far away. It's like a touch-based acupressure for your feet.
Key points:
Gentle pressure: Think relaxing massage, not deep tissue work.
Map theory: Specific areas on hands/feet correspond to specific organs/systems.
Stress relief and wellbeing: Many people find reflexology helps them relax and feel better overall.
Not a cure-all: While some research shows potential benefits, it's not a replacement for medical care.
Think of it this way: If you're looking for a relaxing, potentially beneficial touch therapy, reflexology might be worth a try. But remember, it's not a magic bullet for every ailment.
