Therapy

Therapeutic Reflexology does not treat specific conditions, but holistically supports the body's own innate healing ability!

Therapeutic Reflexology does not claim to cure any condition and each person reacts differently to treatment.

Foot-Centred Reflexology Approach

reflexology picture

Christo Scheepers specialises in foot-centred reflexology, and stimulation of the feet forms the foundation of every treatment. Additional reflexology areas may be incorporated—such as hands, ears, face, or body points—based on Christo’s therapeutic recommendation or the patient’s request. Foot stimulation is only omitted when a medical, clinical, or practical reason requires an alternative approach.

Treatment plans are individually tailored following your initial and ongoing consultations. Each session integrates a combination of reflexology types and techniques as clinically appropriate, without the need to specify each component separately.

You are welcome to rely entirely on Christo’s professional recommendation regarding the techniques best suited to your needs, or you may request specific reflexology types or methods if you prefer.  More Information:

Therapeutic Reflexology Range

foot picture

Auricular (Ear) Reflexology - Stimulation of the ears, by also making use of an ear reflexology pen.  I make use of the pen in this form of reflexology because the ears provide a small area and very specific points need to be stimulated.  After stimulation, the use of "seeds" on specific areas may be used for ongoing stimulation even after the treatment session.

Facial Reflexology - Stimulation of the face, sometimes using a face reflexology pen (although I personally do not like using the pen because it is painful for some people and I do not want any of my patients leaving a treatment session with marks on their faces). Scalp Reflexology - Stimulation of the head/scalp.  I often include this form of reflexology with facial reflexology as I believe it to be a good combination in the same area.

Foot Reflexology - Stimulation of the feet

Body Reflexology - Stimulation of the reflex zones located across and throughout the body.

Hand Reflexology - Stimulation of the hands

 

Therapeutic Reflexology Techniques

Foot Mobilisation - Biomechanical Manual adjustment of the bones and soft-tissue in the feet

Lymph Drainage Reflexology - Using a specific combination of reflexology and manual lymph drainage techniques to assist the body in the elimination of toxins and excess fluids.

Sports Reflexology - Specific reflexology protocols are used for sports people heavily relying on their feet, like athletes, joggers, and hikers.

Therapeutic Touch Reflexology - Very relaxing soft-touch and slow movement techniques are used during a reflexology session.

Vacuflex Cupping Reflexology - Rubber cups connected to the Vacuflex Concepts electronic device are used to apply pressure on certain parts of the feet and sometimes other body parts like the legs or hands.

Vacuflex Vacuum Boot Reflexology - Vacuum boots attached to the Vacuflex Concepts electronic device are used to stimulate the nerve endings on the feet by providing controlled pressure on the feet.

Individualised Sessions 

Christo Scheepers offers a personalised approach to therapeutic reflexology by customising each session to the patient's requirements within the scope of practice as prepared by the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA).

 

  • First Session

During the first session, a complete case history will be taken followed by a therapeutic reflexology assessment (includes a physical reflexology assessment and/or a Vacuflex reflexology assessment) followed by Therapeutic Reflexology Treatment (includes manual reflexology treatment and/or Vacuflex electronic reflexology treatment).  The first session is usually focused on foot reflexology.  The Vacuflex treatment includes the Vacuflex Pressure Boots and/or Vacuflex Pressure Cups. The first session has a duration of 60 minutes but longer sessions may be provided on patient request.

 

  • Follow-up Sessions

Follow-up therapeutic reflexology sessions are usually 60, 90, or 120 minutes in duration.  A customised combination of therapeutic reflexology services is offered to each patient, including both manual therapy and/or Vacuflex electronic therapy to ensure the link between ancient and contemporary reflexology treatment is offered to each patient.  The sessions may be focused on foot reflexology or it may include a combination of foot reflexology with any of the other forms of reflexology listed above.
