Reflexology in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire and surrounding areas

Welcome to CLR Reflexology

Hi I'm Claire, and following a wonderful career in the NHS, as a physiotherapist, I was keen to explore the benefits of complementary therapies. I am now a fully qualified and insured Clinical Reflexologist - graduating with distinction from The Complementary Therapy School in 2024. Now, I am absolutely loving sharing the benefits that Reflexology treatments can bring.

I specialise in treatments designed to relax, rebalance and restore both mind and body. Reflexology is a complementary therapy that can help bring about a deep state of relaxation and stimulate the body's own healing response. Treating the body as a whole and helping to restore it's natural homeostasis, balance and wellbeing. We use massage and apply pressure on different points of the feet, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas and systems within the body. Every treatment is tailored for you and your individual needs. I will take into account both physical and non-physical factors that might be affecting your wellbeing. Some people find it works for them and some don't, the best way to find out is to try. I think you will love it!

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a natural therapy founded on the belief that your feet and hands are a reflection of the systems in your body - where specific areas correspond to organs, glands and structure. By applying gentle pressure to areas of the feet or hands a Reflexologist can help the body restore its own healthy balance. Evidence has been found for some form foot and hand therapy being practised in China and Egypt more than four thousand years ago.

Reflexology aims to treat the individual as a whole, creating a state of harmony in both body and mind. It has the benefit of also being a deeply relaxing therapy, and during periods of relaxation the body takes the opportunity to heal, restore and energise itself.

Reflexology is suitable for all ages, from baby to adult, and can be especially helpful for long-term and recurring conditions. Reflexology does not diagnose and does not cure though; as a complementary therapy it should not be considered an alternative to conventional medicine.

The Benefits of Reflexology

Balance

Reflexology is a wonderful way of maintaining your body's healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.

Relaxation

Reflexology can induce a deep state of relaxation, which improves the effectiveness of the treatment. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, and helping with the removal of toxins.

Health

While it is not a cure, Reflexology can be particularly helpful in managing many health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones that we might have come to accept over time as being a normal part of life.

Frequently asked questions

Everyone is different and the response to Reflexology can be immediate or sometimes take longer than one appointment, but often benefits can be seen after 4-5 sessions. Regular weekly treatments are best for the body properly beginning the self-healing process, and following an initial consultation I will suggest the number of Reflexology sessions I think we should undertake.

My reflexology sessions include an initial consultation and will last approximately 1 hour at a cost of £50.

I also offer a number of appointments for those on a low income, please feel free to enquire.

I can provide reflexology treatments in your own home, for those with mobility issues or receiving palliative care. please contact me to enquire about this service.

Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure, but during a treatment we get 'feedback' as to which parts of the body are working well and which are not. Sometimes Reflexology will highlight a specific area which is struggling or working hard to maintain your wellbeing; if a particular reflex point shows this kind of reaction I'll discuss it with you at the end of the session.

Reflexology is performed entirely on the feet, ankles or hands, so the most you’ll have to do is take off your socks and roll up your trousers! During the treatment the client lies on their back on a reclining chair, supported by pillows and covered with a soft blanket to keep them warm.

And don’t worry - reflexology doesn't tickle! Many clients come to me with ticklish feet or worried about their feet being touched, but find they can relax and enjoy the benefits of Reflexology.

You might find some areas feel sensitive to the touch, but Reflexology does not involve hard pressing in the way something like a sports massage might. As a therapist I will be aware of the status of your feet, noticing how they feel, the temperature and colour. All these things play a part in understanding which areas of your body - as reflected through your feet - require a bit more care and attention.

Not necessarily, but after an initial course of treatment many people choose to check in monthly for a top-up, to help maintain their general wellbeing, or as a scheduled 'de-stress'. Other clients will get back in touch if they start feeling aches and pains, arranging treatments as and when they need them.
