Reflexology Aftercare

---

   Following a reflexology treatment most people feel peaceful and relaxed.  However, you may notice that you feel more tired; that some of your symptoms feel worse for a while; or that you need to go to the toilet more often. These are all positive signs that the body has responded to the treatment and should pass within the next 24-48 hours.   There are a few things you can do to support yourself in the days following your treatment.
 

• make sure you drink plenty of water to help flush out waste products from the body.
• try and rest to allow the body time for self-healing.
• avoid drinking stimulants such as tea, coffee and alcohol.
• eat healthily with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
   

It can also be helpful to optimise the effects of your reflexology treatment by working any hand reflex points that I have shown you. So where possible, try and work your hands for about 5 minutes every day. This might prove easier if you make it part of your daily routine - i.e., after morning shower, or in your lunch break at work.
