I play music through the treatments and have a variety you can chose from. some people may choose music different from the conventional relaxing music and more fitting with their musical taste. I try to have some slow varied genre's, so go ahead and ask, if I know in advance of a treatment I can see what I can do or you can bring your own.

Many people are anxious before a treatment. Music has the power to completely transform our state of mind. Maybe listen to some music before a treatment to help you relax. 

No, it will not make any condition more acute. Reflexology helps to normalize body functions. A Reflexology session relaxes the stress that can affect your health. It is a safe effective way to Better Health.

Your response is not related to the severity of your disorder but in your faith in your own body’s healing abilities.

Initial response to Reflexology massage varies, although ultimately there should be a life-giving surge of vitality and well being with the overall effect extending to the mind and subconscious.

Responses to Reflexology should be considered as a larger picture. Our bodies disorders develop over many years and are very good at looking after us

To list a few most people report;

Relaxed with a sense of well being * improved sleep including dreaming * an awareness of feelings * feeling like the are walking on air * in another world or bubble * energized & focused *enriched breathing *

After one or two treatments your body may respond in a very definite way.

All reactions are considered positive since they indicate that the body is actively trying to expel unwanted toxins and so called ‘side effects’ are generally short lived. Therefore do not be alarmed if you find an increased discharge of waste products and intensified emotions or occasionally feelings you have been unaware of.  

Sometimes people can have what is referred to as a 'healing crisis' where people have reported what could be viewed as negative, anger, tearful etc. Also it has been known for people to be sick.  Sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory and is part of the healing process.

This is why it is important to to be aware of this, to not be alarmed and see it as a 'healing response' as people do report feeling very much better after this and with feelings of well being lasting longer.

However this is why it is contested to whether this is a good thing or not. Generally the West believe it is to work gradually and slowly, especially if you have been under extreme stress. I can mean that an area was overworked. i always appreciate being informed and I can then consider the areas that may have been overstimulated and why. I should generally pick up through consultation and during a treatment what is best.  If people disclose information this is a perfect way of releasing problems. However it is vital in a treatment there is a quieting of the brain. I have ways of encouraging this. This also means helping to build a trust  with me where we can fine tune what kind of treatments are best for you.

Having said that uninvited symptoms inviting you to stay in a rested state.  I would always encourage you to stay until they have past but please do not hesitate to contact a Doctor if anything persists.

'Dien Chan' is a form of reflexology. Reflexology implies the principle that by stimulating one part of the body, another part of the body is rebalanced. More precisely, when the skin (a major sense organ) is stimulated according to established maps which reflect all the organs of the body, the nervous system (central, then peripheral) responds to reach the targetted organ or area.

The biomedical model of health is the most dominant in the western world and focuses on health purely in terms of biological factors. Contained within the biomedical model of health is a medical model of disability. In a similar vein, this focuses on disability purely in terms of the impairment that it gives the individual.
