What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a healing art that can be traced back thousands of years to ancient Egyptian and Chinese medicine. First introduced to the UK in the 1960’s, today it is an increasingly popular holistic therapy. Working on the principle that all organs and glands within the body are linked by energy zones to specific reflex points on the hands and feet, a Reflexologist can apply finger and thumb pressure techniques to stimulate all parts of the body. Treatment is more frequently carried out on the feet, as they have greater sensitivity.
Reflexology improves the circulation, breaks down waste deposits blocking the body’s natural energy flow and assists with elimination of toxins, which in high levels may cause disease. The aim of treatment is to create harmony within the body, enabling the natural healing process.
More About The Treatment
Pam Stroud is a Member of the Association of Reflexologists, and undertakes 'Continued Professional Development' (CPD) as a condition of membership. She holds an AQA Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology and an IIHHT Body Massage Certificate. Pam carries out treatments at her home in Farnborough, Hampshire. However, if for any reason you are unable to travel it may be possible to arrange a home visit. Areas covered for home visits are: Farnborough, Fleet, Camberley, Aldershot, Frimley, Mytchett, Ash, and surrounding areas. Please contact me to discuss your requiremets.
At your first appointment, which will last for approximately an hour and a quarter, a consultation form is completed in order to establish details of your lifestyle and any health concerns. A suitable plan for treatment is then discussed, after which you can relax during the treatment.
A course of approximately 4 to 6 sessions may be taken when relief is sought for a particular condition. After a course of Reflexology a ‘follow-on’ appointment is suggested every two or three months to keep the body in balance, and maintain health improvement.
Testimonials
Following the loss of my husband, I suffered from serious stress and depression. After my GP recommended Reflexology, I found the benefits to be immediate and the relaxing effects of this treatment were enormously beneficial to both my physical & emotional well-being.

I was calm and relaxed throughout pregnancy and labour.
