After care advice

After your reflexology session, it's important to follow a few aftercare steps to help your body process the work done and maximise the benefits.

Here are some general aftercare tips:

• 1. Hydrate - Drink plenty of water after the session. Reflexology stimulates the circulation and helps to release toxins, so staying hydrated helps flush them out of your system.

• 2. Rest - Take it easy for the rest of the day. Reflexology can promote relaxation, but it can also stimulate energy shifts. If you feel tired or lightheaded, rest to allow your body to adjust.

• 3. Avoid Heavy Meals - It's best to avoid heavy, rich meals immediately after the session. Opt for light, healthy foods that support detoxification.

• 4. Allow Time for Integration - Reflexology may cause emotional or physical responses, such as increased energy, fatigue, or mild soreness. Give yourself time to integrate these changes over the next 24 to 48 hours.

• 5. Gentle Movement - If you're feeling energised, light stretching or a gentle walk can help support the flow of energy and circulation.

• 6. Listen to Your Body - Pay attention to any sensations or changes in your body. Some people experience mild discomfort or tenderness in the feet or hands, which is usually temporary. If discomfort persists, consider reaching out to your reflexologist.

• 7. Avoid Alcohol or Stimulants - It's best to avoid alcohol or caffeine for a few hours after your session, as they can counteract the relaxing and detoxifying effects of the reflexology treatment.

• 8. Follow-Up Sessions - Reflexology is often most effective when done in a series. If you find it beneficial, consider scheduling regular sessions to maintain its effects.
