During Treatment
The first appointment is a little longer than subsequent appointments to allow time to collect information on your present and past health and lifestyle, e.g. childhood illnesses and vaccinations, major accidents or operations, persistent or recurring illnesses, and your present state of health and well being.
Treatment takes place with you sitting in a semi-reclined position on a professional couch or chair. You will need to remove only your shoes and socks. Your feet will be wiped with a refreshing solution and then examined. A relaxing foot massage will follow, and then the treatment will begin. No external aids are used, only the techniques of therapeutic human touch. The treatment pressure is increased and decreased according to findings and sensitivities. The treatment concludes with a relaxing foot massage.
