Reflexology is based upon the principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all the major parts of the body. It is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body.

Benefits of Reflexology:

• Increased circulation: by stimulating blood flow, reflexology may enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, potentially improving overall health.
• Improved relaxation:  may help alleviate stress and induce deep relaxation, contributing to overall well-being.

Who Provides Reflexology at Cheshire Lasers?

At Cheshire Lasers Clinic, we have two highly experienced Reflexologists:

Tara Shotton who performs Reflexology at Cheshire Lasers on Thursdays. Find out more about her experience, treatments and prices here.

Sharron Roughton provides Reflexology at Cheshire Lasers on Fridays and Saturdays. Find out more about her prices, treatments and experience here.

What does Reflexology involve?

A Reflexology treatment (with or without specially selected aromatherapy oils) lasts for approximately 60 minutes. The first treatment, however, can take up to 90 minutes as a full client consultation occurs before the treatment can commence.

During a typical reflexology session, the reflexologist will take a detailed medical history. Sessions are usually performed in a comfortable chair or couch. The client will be asked to remove footwear and socks. The practitioner will make a visual and tactile examination of the area to be worked on before beginning the precise reflexology movements. The particular types of movements involved require the application of appropriate pressure using the thumb and fingers.

Why may I benefit from Reflexology?

Reflexology may be beneficial in restoring balance and harmony in the body and releasing tension. Practitioners believe that it helps facilitate a deep state of relaxation, calm emotions, and produce a serene mind. Research studies support many of these benefits.

Many people describe a profound sense of relaxation and increased energy following their session. In addition, specific studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and anxiety.

Reflexology is growing increasingly popular across Europe and Asia as both a complement to other treatments and as a preventive measure. One example is Denmark, where various municipalities and companies have employed reflexologists since the early ’90s.
According to several studies, this practice in Denmark has resulted in reduced sick leave and absenteeism (and significant economic savings for the employers). Employees have consistently reported a complete or partial improvement in conditions where they sought reflexologists’ help and even relief for additional problems related to stress. In one municipal district, almost one-third of the employees reported greater satisfaction with their jobs after completing six sessions with a reflexologist.

Cheshire Lasers can help with your fertility journey.

Mark Guggiari specialises in Acupuncture to help fertility and pre-conception care here at Cheshire Lasers.

Sharron Roughton specialises in Reflexology and has training and experience treating couples for fertility and women throughout their pregnancy.

It is estimated that 1 in 7 couples in the UK will experience fertility issues every year, this is approximately 3.5 million people (NHS, 2017). The psychological effects of being unable to get or stay pregnant can be absolutely devastating. Some people get caught in a cycle of expectation and disappointment every month, which can add considerably to the stress they are already experiencing. For some this can lead to anxiety and low mood. Some people also find it difficult to talk to family and friends and can often feel isolated.

How can Acupuncture help with Fertility?

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine help prepare your body for conception, be it assisted conception or natural conception.
Many people choose acupuncture because they would like to avoid assisted conception. Some have chosen it because they have heard it is a beneficial support during assisted conception. Others turn to acupuncture because they have tried everything else and want to explore other options to help them conceive.

Wherever you may be in your fertility journey, acupuncture support may be an excellent way to help bring you into better balance.

Whatever the reason:

• Just at the outset of trying to conceive
• You have been trying for some time
• Just embarking down the assisted pathway
• You may have had multiple assisted experiences

Mark Guggiari MBAcC, PgDip(Acu), Dip(Tui Na) is a member of the Acupuncture Fertility Network.

Reflexology has been used for fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth throughout history. Reflexology assists in re-balancing the mind and body, bringing about body balance.

What is Indian Head Massage?

It is a massage treatment based on a system of traditional medicine which has been practised in India for over a thousand years.

The aim is to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders.

What does Indian Head Massage Involve?

The client usually sits in a massage chair for the treatment. Our therapist uses a range of different movements, including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas. In addition, our therapist will also gently stimulate key pressure points on the face. This treatment is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. The technique also helps increase joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, frees knots of muscular tension, relaxes connective tissue, and aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products. It is particularly good for reducing the effects of stress and tension.

Conditions that can benefit from Indian Head Massage are as follows:

• Neck and shoulder pain
• Face pain
• Scalp conditions
• Anxiety
• Stress
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Asthma
• Bronchitis
• Depression

What is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)?

EMDR is a treatment for distressing memories; those memories may be related to trauma such as sexual abuse, childhood neglect, road traffic accidents or violence. It can also, be helpful for phobias, traumatic grief, pain and performance anxiety. Traumatic memories can become blocked in the brain which then causes symptoms of anxiety and intrusive images.

You may have tried to avoid the thoughts and certain places related to the trauma because of this. The brain stem is triggering the fight/flight response. The Amygdala in the brain becomes overcharged by the blocked memory as it remains unprocessed and undigested. It then affects the thinking process.

EMDR treatment uses bilateral stimulation activating the left and right brain hemispheres. It activates the memory networks allowing the memory to be processed and digested. The bilateral stimulation can be auditory, tactile, sensory and also visual stimulus. It may trigger off other memories that you may not have been aware of.

Please consult the following web address for further information on EMDR;

EMDR Association

EMDR treatments are carried out by Noah at Cheshire Lasers.
