Tiny Feet Reflexology

Tiny Feet Refexology

Tiny Feet Reflexology is based in Glossop Derbyshire and is run by Breeda Hartle GJC (Dip.Reflex).

I first became interested in Reflexology when I had some treatment for back pain some years ago. The treatment left me feeling revitalised after every session and prompted me to search for a career in reflexology. I wanted others to experience the benefits of reflexology as I did and so I went on to gain my reflexology qualification and to create Tiny Feet Reflexology.

I trained for 12 months at Jubilee College in Manchester and gained a diploma level 3 in Reflexology, Anatomy and Physiology and I am also trained in first aid for appointed persons. I work to the highest standards and a professional code of practise and all client consultations and treatments are completely confidential.

History of Reflexology

Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. Research from ancient times shows us that the early Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Russians and Egyptians worked on the feet to promote good health and from that day to this the principle of Reflexology still remains the same. That principle is that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and reflex areas in the feet that correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts, therefore stimulating the feet in the correct way during a Reflexology session could prove very rewarding.

Dr. William Fitzgerald (b.1872 – d.1942) is known as the “Father of Zone Therapy.” He was the most forward thinking of medical men, who became a natural healer through the art of using pressure therapy to benefit and heal the human body. A graduate of the University of Vermont, he was for many years senior Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon at St. Francis Hospital, Hartford, Connecticut. While working at his specialty, he observed that by applying pressure to certain parts of the body the patient would feel no pain, and he was able to do minor operations without using local analgesic.

Reflexology was known as Zone Therapy until the early 1960’s. An American Physiotherapist named Eunice Ingham developed reflexology from Zone Therapy and she is now known as the mother or reflexology her nephew, Dwight C. Byer, now continues her work.

Why are our prices so low?

We believe reflexology should be affordable to everyone. Basing our practise from a residential address compared to a high street practise enables us to reduce our overheads. We then pass all of this saving onto you, so you receive the same quality of service you would find on the high street but at a vastly reduced cost.

In order for your body to benefit from reflexology a course of 6 treatments are recommended but not always necessary.

We ask that any customers wishing to cancel an appointment give us a minimum of 24 hours notice so that we can fill the time we have set aside for you. If a customer cancels without letting us know at least 24 hours in advance we will charge a £15 cancellation fee.

FAQ’s

Q – Does Reflexology work?

A – Here are some of the statistics taken from a recent pilot study in Northern Ireland 2008 the results speak for themselves:-

- 81% of patients reported an improvement in their physical health, with 79% reporting an improvement in their mental health (source, patient survey)

- 81% of patients said that their general health had improved, with a similarly high proportion of patients (82%) reporting to be less worried about their symptoms following treatment (source, MYMOP)

- 62% of patients were suffering less pain, with 60% having more control over pain (source, patient survey)
There was a 14 percentage point reduction in the proportion of patients using medication between the pre and post-treatment stages (i.e. down from 75% to 61%) (source, project monitoring data)

- 84% of patients directly linked the CAM treatments to an improvement in their overall wellbeing (source, patient survey)

Q – is reflexology ticklish?

A – No, the pressure used is firm but pleasant & the movements are firm & decisive. Even ticklish people have been surprised that it has not tickled. However, if you really are worried about this, we can focus the treatment on the hands which is just as beneficial.

Q - Does reflexology hurt?

A-Not on the whole - there can be some discomfort when reflex points are being massaged which relate to areas of the body where there is an imbalance. However, the discomfort should be minimal & temporary & you should feedback to your therapist who will adjust the pressure accordingly.

Q – I have athletes foot – can I still come for reflexology?

A – no, as it's infectious, I won’t be able to offer you a treatment until it has cleared up. Tea tree oil has been shown to be very beneficial as it has antiseptic qualities. But ultimately you should see a chiropodist for advice on how to treat your athletes foot & once it has cleared up, we can start the reflexology.

Q – I have a verruca – can I still come for reflexology?

A – yes, we can cover the verruca with a plaster to avoid cross infection & I will work that reflex point on the hand instead.

Q – how will I feel after reflexology?

A – everyone is unique and so everyone reacts differently to treatments: some people feel tired, others feel energised; a lot of people feel very thirsty immediately after & we always recommend that you drink a lot of water after a treatment. you may notice that you need to evacuate your bowels or urinate more frequently after a treatment; some people have claimed to feel more in control and better able to cope. There could be a temporary worsening of your presenting condition, or other symptoms might appear. This is known as a healing crisis reaction and is perfectly natural: it is your body’s way of telling you the self-healing process has begun. Any side-effects should be short lived, but it is important that you let me know about them at the next session as this is all part of your healing process so that I can further adapt the treatment plan if necessary.

Q – how many treatments will I need?

A – everyone is different and the number of treatments depends on a whole host of factors: the condition that you would like help with, your age and general state of health. An initial course of 6 treatments should be enough for any condition. At the end of each session, I will be reassessing your individual needs and letting you know how it is progressing.

Q – Are there any circumstances in which reflexology would not be advisable?

A - Reflexology is a very safe form of treatment but it may not be suitable for some people suffering with deep vein thrombosis, phlebitis or conditions associated with excessive blood clotting. The first three months of pregnancy is a time for caution, particularly if the expectant mother has a history of unstable pregnancies, since reflexology promotes hormone function. Later in pregnancy reflexology can be extremely beneficial.
