Why choose Christo Scheepers, a male Therapeutic Reflexologist?
Choosing a Therapeutic Reflexologist is a personal choice that you have to be comfortable with. This practice is built specifically to make you comfortable: care is foot-centred, you remain fully clothed (unless you choose to make use of body reflexology), the setting is private and professional, and everything is led by your consent and your pace. Many patients arrive unsure and stay for years because they feel genuinely safe and respected.
Statutory Registration
Christo is registered with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA), the statutory body that regulates Therapeutic Reflexology, giving you the assurance of a recognised, accountable, professional therapist.
Two Decades of Experience
More than twenty years of hands-on therapeutic practice means a depth of skill and judgement that comes only with time. Christo is known for working with female patients that receive Therapeutic Reflexology for the very first-time!
A Foot-Centred Approach
Christo works mainly through the feet using non-invasive techniques, supported by advanced training in foot health and mechanics, a deliberate approach rather than a general offering. All sessions are foot-centred and if any body reflexology is required, it is secondary to the primary therapy on the feet.
Genuinely Individualised Sessions
Each visit begins with a check-in and adapts to how you feel that day, your lifestyle pressures and your goals, so no two sessions are the same. Every treatment is customised to what you need on the specific day.
Research-Informed Practice
A doctoral background in reflexology practice means your care is grounded in evidence and current thinking, not routine alone.
Convenient, Confidential & After-Hours
A private consulting space in Tygervalley, Cape Town, with after-hours appointments designed around demanding schedules.
Stress & Burnout Support
Support for stress, burnout, poor sleep, emotional strain and an overactive nervous system
Hormonal & Menstrual Wellbeing
Support through menstrual discomfort, PMS, hormonal changes, the fertility journey, pregnancy and menopause
Fatigue, Recovery & Physical Restoration
Support for low energy, body tension, tired aching feet and the strain of demanding days
Patient Voices
"Christo took the time to understand my specific concerns and explained everything in a way that made me feel comforatble and informed." (Recurring Patient)
"It is intimate because I do not allow just anyone to touch my feet ... I really felt comfortable." (Young Adult Patient)

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.
