At the Practice

Therapeutic Reflexology and Supportive Therapy Treatments are offered at the Private Practice in Tygervalley

reflexology picture

Christo Scheepers specialises in foot reflexology so the stimulation of the feet is always included in any treatment, and then additional areas may be added based on his therapeutic recommendation or on the patient's request. The only time when stimulation on the feet is not used is when there is a medical or other valid reason to avoid feet stimulation.

Christo Scheepers usually recommends a treatment customised for your specific needs based on the initial and ongoing consultations.  A variety of reflexology types and techniques are used in every treatment session without necessarily specifying each separately.

You can leave the choice of reflexology type up to your therapeutic reflexologist's recommendation, or you may request specific types or techniques.

The full range of Therapeutic Reflexology services offered include reflexology on the feet, hands, face, ears, scalp, and body:

Foot Reflexology - Stimulation of the feet

Hand Reflexology - Stimulation of the hands

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).

Auricular 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.

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.

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

 

 

The full range of Therapeutic Reflexology services offered include different types of reflexology, for example:

reflexology picture

Duopody Reflexology - Stimulation of both feet and the corresponding reflexes on both feet simultaneously.

Fertility Reflexology - Specific reflexology protocols are used to deal with fertility matters like preparation and support for fertilization, artificial insemination, IVF; conditions like endometriosis, vaginismus, painful intercourse, low sperm motility/morphology, low progesterone, low libido, and inability to orgasm.  The purpose of fertility reflexology is to assist couples to conceive.

Hot Stone Reflexology - Making use of hot stones during a reflexology treatment.

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.

Sensory Reflexology - A combination of techniques and paraphernalia are used to provide a combination of soft-touch and deeper reflexology techniques on the nerve endings to increase sensory stimulation.

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

Tranquility Reflexology - Reflexology and relaxation techniques are used to help with stress reduction, relaxation inducement, and wellbeing enhancement; usually, a two-hour session in a dark room with soft lighting.

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.

Vertical Reflexology - Reflexology techniques are used on the feet while the patient is in an upright/standing position applying pressure on the feet through your own body weight.

  • 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 to 90 minutes and can also be provided on patient request.

 

  • Follow-up Sessions

Follow-up therapeutic reflexology sessions are usually 60 minutes in duration, but options for shorter or longer sessions are available at the patient's request.  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.
