A relaxing therapy for the feet, promote wellbeing and balance-Pure Therapy

A deeply relaxing therapy for the mind and body. Reflex points on the feet correspond to all the organs and systems of the body are stimulated in a gentle rhythmic pressure point treatment. Imbalances and energy blockages can be identified and encouraged to disperse allowing the body to reach a more balanced state. Enjoy as a single treatment or as a regular relaxation plan.

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a complimentary therapy that has its roots in ancient Egypt, China, Africa and the native Indian tribes of America.

Based on the principle that the anatomy of the body is reflected in miniature of reflex zones on the feet. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body is in a state of ‘imbalance’, and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively.

These blockages are usually indicated on the feet as little nodules or grainy deposits felt just underneath the skin. The deposits are made up of Uric Acid and excess Calcium, which build up in the body when the metabolism is not working as effectively as it could be.

The deposits can be broken down by the Reflexology which is not a massage but more of a pressure point technique. The broken down deposits are then carried by the blood and lymph to be eliminated from the body.

Reflexology should be avoided during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, while the body is adjusting to hormonal changes. After this time expectant mothers can find Reflexology extremely helpful and safe to combat many common symptoms of pregnancy including morning sickness, back pain, anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, water retention and cramps.

Reflexology is complementary to standard medical treatment and is not a replacement to medical help.

A course of 4-6 treatments is recommended if you have not had Reflexology before. It is best if these are taken one a week, and once the course is completed, as and when a treatment is needed. The reason for this is that the body needs time to respond to the treatment and to return to a balanced state.

You will generally feel relaxed and well after a treatment; however everyone is different and can respond in different ways. Minor side effects are common after treatment but are an indication that the treatment is working, and the body is responding in a positive way.

I have been coming to Alison for several years now for facials and despite having had facials at a few other places over the years, they are never as good! Alison is very talented! Not only is she knowledgeable and my skin is glowing after but I always feel so recharged too. I had previously thought the purpose of a facial was mainly to take care of my skin but I didn’t realise how relaxing it would be too. She always takes her time and the atmosphere is serene, feeling almost like a ritual. I wish I could treat myself more often!

I’ve had multiple courses of lymphatic massages at pure therapy. They are wonderful so relaxing and I definitely notice a difference with my water retention afterwards. The environment is lovely, service and treatment professional and price really reasonable. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Alison runs a very professional business. From the text received the day before your appointment as a reminder, to the wonderful relaxing massages. She has the whole package and I had the best night’s sleep I had in ages after my latest massage from her. I would highly recommend her for tired overworking bodies or those just wanting a treat.

I have been lucky enough to have experienced many different types of massage treatments both locally and worldwide but I believe that you would have to travel a long way indeed to find a massage therapist as gifted as Alison. Her personal, intuitive and holistic approach provides a thorough and effective massage.
