What patients have to say
Christo Scheepers is a highly professional and skilled therapeutic reflexologist. In 2020, after chemo treatment, I started sessions on a monthly basis; 5 years later, I am a regular patient now. It has improved circulation, relaxation of my muscles, and enhanced my body’s natural healing processes. His calm demeaner makes you feel comfortable.
Christo Scheepers is an amazing reflexologist. He took the time to understand my specific concerns and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. I felt pain relief after my session. He is a highly skilled and trained professional.
My husband and I struggled with infertility and while in South Africa, I received therapeutic reflexology from Christo. Being back in my country, I just want to thank Christo for his amazing and professional service; I am 6 weeks pregnant and everything is going well with the pregnancy.
I experienced my first ever therapeutic reflexology treatment and Christo was so professional and made me feel comfortable and pampered. Thank you for the most amazing relaxation ever. I’ll be back soon!
Endometriosis resulted in extreme monthly pain to the point where I had to regularly take time off work and as a doctor, I could not continue to take so much time off. I tried therapeutic reflexology with Christo and have not taken off from work due to Endometriosis pain ever since.
I have been struggling with regular bladder infections and since beginning therapeutic reflexology sessions with Christo, I had no bladder infections.
When people win the lotto they want a full-time butler or cook; not me, when I win the lotto I’ll come to you twice a week because you are very good and the only one getting all my stress out.
That was VERY nice. I came for reflexology because I just heard good things about Christo, and now I can say it is all true. My mom always go for reflexology but now I can tell her I also went and I really enjoyed it!
You have amazing hands, Christo, you know exactly which spots to press!
After five years of receiving therapeutic reflexology from you, you are still the best in your field!
I feel so much better after receiving therapeutic reflexology from Christo Scheepers; it is so amazing for more treatment because this is a therapy that actually works!
I am so overwhelmed; I heard today that I’m 8 weeks pregnant. Thank you, Christo, for being part of my journey to become pregnant. My husband and I shall always remember how professionally you assisted us through our fertility journey.
Christo, when you touch my feet to give me therapeutic reflexology, it is intimate because I do not allow just anyone to touch my feet. I allow my friends to hold my hands, but I do not let them touch my feet; it is too intimate.
When Christo does therapeutic reflexology on my feet, I turn to jelly; I told my husband that after Christo touches my feet, I walk out of his office feeling like a jellyfish; totally relaxed!
Christo has fantastic, firm grips and good strong pressure! Very, very enjoyable … Well done!
I have been privileged to have had Christo do regular sessions with me after my cancer treatment; he is so professional in the manner he treats his patients with respect.
Christo, thank you for my foot treatment today. When I arrived home and I took off my shoes and smelled the sweet smell of the creams you used on my feet, then I thought, you are actually doing a humbling and special work because every day you anoint and heal many people’s feet like in the days of Moses and Jesus when they washed and anointed the visitors’ feet. Just think how many broken people, especially women, you have touched with healing through your profession!
Christo is friendly and very informative. The therapeutic reflexology sessions were a relaxing experience and it feels as if it is stimulating digestion. Not sure what you did, but I felt so good and relaxed after the session. I usually wake up at least twice during the night, but after the reflexology session, I slept right through the night. I cannot believe this.
As a teenage girl of 16, I think Christo is very good. He is friendly and he knows what he is doing. The reflexology sessions were very good and I learnt things about my body that I did not know.
Thank you for your integrity, Christo, when you referred me rather than just continuing with more treatment sessions made me realise just what type of a professional you are because you could easily just continue with treatment, but when you had the discussion with me and referred me to another type of healthcare professional, you made a real impression!
Christo is absolutely amazing as a therapeutic reflexologist; he may touch my feet anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Therapeutic Reflexology?
Therapeutic Reflexology is a professionally regulated complementary health modality that uses specific pressure techniques on reflex points, most often on the feet. It is non-invasive, deeply relaxing and used to support overall wellbeing alongside conventional healthcare.
What is Reflexology versus Foot Massage?
Foot massage is usually offered for general relaxation and relief of tired feet. Therapeutic Reflexology is a structured complementary health modality using specific pressure techniques on reflex areas (nerve endings) of the feet. In South Africa, it is practised by AHPCSA-registered Therapeutic Reflexologists and is offered as non-diagnostic wellbeing support alongside medical care.
Can Therapeutic Reflexology diagnose or cure?
No. Therapeutic Reflexology is non-diagnostic and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. It may support relaxation, stress regulation, nervous-system balance and general wellbeing as part of a complementary care approach.
What happens during the first session?
Your first session includes a consultation, relevant health history, discussion of your wellbeing concerns and a personalised foot-centred reflexology session. Christo will explain the process and adapt the session to your comfort and needs.
What payment options do you accept?
Medical Aid Rates Apply
Fees depend on the session length and treatment approach. Card payments and SnapScan are accepted, and documentation will be provided where patients wish to submit claims to their medical scheme, depending on their benefits. The practice does not submit or claim directly from medical schemes.

(Leonardo da Vinci)

The Human Foot Consists of:
5 Toes
4 Arches
33 Joints
20 Muscles
10 Tendons
107 Ligaments
8 Main Nerves
125 000 Sweat Glands
Numerous Blood Vessels

The Human Foot is Fascinating
The human foot is such a masterpiece that it carries the entire weight of the body, assists with balance and is used for movement (on average about 9000 steps per day), yet so many people neglect and feel embarrassed about their feet.
There is no need to feel embarrassed about your feet in the world of therapeutic reflexology.
A Therapeutic Reflexologist works with all kinds of feet in all shapes, sizes and conditions and what you may feel embarrassed about, may in actual fact give valuable information to the therapeutic reflexologist about your overall wellbeing.
