Reflexology Services
Reflexology is the science of applying pressure to points on the feet to improve health. All parts of the body can be accessed through the feet and in this way we can determine what areas are under strain and require specific attention. With small movements and pressure, a reflexologist will unblock nerve pathways which stimulate circulation and aid detoxification. It will often help you become aware of your own health state and many people find it marks a turning point in how they approach their body’s needs. Reflexology is not diagnostic but is an excellent way to maintain wellbeing as its natural, safe and can be practiced on all ages.
How will I feel during and after treatment?
Each person is different and so is the treatment. Most people feel very calm, soothed and sometimes sleepy. There will sometimes be an element of discomfort but this is short lived and usually reflects the health of the receiver. As the benefits are cumulative with every consecutive treatment the discomfort decreases giving a good indication of improved circulation and lymphatic drainage. After the treatment you may initially feel very relaxed and floaty, then over 24 hours some detox symptoms could occur: headache, tiredness,
tearfulness,
and thirst. This is a positive step in your body working hard to drain
toxins and heal itself.

• Stress/Panic attacks

Holistic Massage
At C1 we can also provide holistic massage. This is a method of applying pressure to the body to ease pain & tension. Over time tension and stress can cause our muscles to harden which causes discomfort and immobility. By using deep tissue massage, neuromuscular techniques and acupressure the muscles will soften and flexibility improves as will blood flow. Each person requires a different massage depending on your individual needs.
Massage breaks down fibrous knots in the muscle bringing relief from pain, stiffness and stress. It improves circulation which encourages the body to detoxify.
Massage can also help:
• PMT
• IBS
• Insomnia
• Stress
• Depression
• Chronic illness & pain
• Boosts immunity
• Pregnancy discomfort
• Improves mobility
• Restorative
The Effects of Massage
A single massage is enjoyable and therapeutic, but the true benefits of massage are cumulative. Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening the body’s ability to heal, reduce stress and prevent injury through poor posture or excess tension.
At C1 we can also offer Indian Head Massage
It is a safe, simple & effective non-invasive therapy involving massage of the head, neck, face, arms/hands and upper back. It is a treatment that can be carried out fully clothed sitting on a sturdy upright chair so it is a good massage for people who feel uncomfortable on a couch. It is known to be deeply spiritual and while it works on the physical tissue of the body, it also works to balance and unblock the three higher chakras.
Indian Head massage is a renowned stress-busting treatment that results in a deep sometimes trance-like state of relaxation. Benefits include:
• Clearing brain fog
• Improves lymphatic drainage from head & neck
• Nourishing to skin & hair
• Improves muscle tone & mobility
• Reduces stress headaches
• Gives a sense of calm & peace
