Reflexology In Leeds From Our Experienced Team
Foot therapies such as reflexology were an important part of healing in many ancient cultures. It is based on the principle that certain points on the feet and hands correspond to specific parts of the body. By applying pressure to these reflex points, a trained reflexologist can release tensions, improve the blood supply and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Our team provide reflexology in Leeds to help with a whole range of problems.

How Can It Help Me?
Reflexology can be used simply for relaxation as well as to maintain good health. Treatment is relaxing and can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.Alternatively, many people find reflexology beneficial for a wide range of physical symptoms and problems:
- Chronic pain, including neck and back pain and arthritis
- Migraine and chronic headaches
- Tiredness and chronic fatigue syndrome
- Sleep disturbances and insomnia
- Digestive disorders, constipation and irritable bowel syndrome
- Menopausal symptoms and premenstrual syndrome
- Symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis (as reviewed by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence NICE).
The Reflexology Treatment
Reflexology treats the body holistically. Following any trauma or stress, reflexology practitioners believe that the body can be out of balance, causing the energy flow to be blocked. Reflexology treats the imbalances and alleviates symptoms, however it cannot diagnose specific problems.Reflexology is thought to:
- Reduce stress and encourage relaxation
- Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
- Balance the whole body
- Remove congestion and blockages from the energy pathways
- Normalise gland and organ function.
What To Expect
At your first session your reflexologist will take a history of your condition and your general health, and explain a little about reflexology therapy.
Your practitioner will use pressure from their thumb and fingers to stimulate the appropriate reflex points for you. You may feel warmth and tingling in your feet and the rest of your body during your treatment. You may also feel relaxed and drowsy; it’s perfectly normal for clients to fall asleep during their therapy sessions.
Afterwards you may need to use the toilet more regularly. Many people feel calm and relaxed with an improvement in their symptoms. Some patients feel lethargic and nauseous, or even tearful, for a short time. This is thought to be due to the body eliminating toxins following the reflexology treatment.
Cautions & Care
It’s important not to drink alcohol for 24 hours before your reflexology therapy. It’s also advisable to avoid heavy meals before treatment, and drink plenty of water afterwards.
It’s important to inform your practitioner of any chronic illness before your treatment, especially thyroid disease, epilepsy, cancer and depression. Diabetics in particular should talk to their doctors before having reflexology as treatment may interfere with their medication.
Reflexology may not be suitable for people with foot problems including gout, ulcers and circulatory conditions.
Please tell your reflexologist if you may be pregnant as it is not advisable to have reflexology during the first three months of pregnancy.

What our patients say
James Fletcher2024-04-12I started seeing Josh last year in preparation of my first marathon. I'm a big believer that prevention is better than the cure and I felt I was carrying a few minor ailments. I see him every 6-8 weeks and discuss my current training and niggles which he works on resolving and suggests different exercises and stretches to improve moving forward. Following the sessions I feel more flexible and balanced and I'm training for my second marathon. I'd highly recommend the Good Health Centre and Josh. He's a great osteopath and person!
Chris Dietz2024-04-11Josh is an excellent osteopath (with physiotherapy experience). He is a keen runner and so has great insight into running injuries. When I first went to see him I had been misdiagnosed twice and was feeling quite helpless. In our first session he diagnosed me with an adductor tendinopathy and gave me a rehab plan that developed through our sessions. After a handful of appointments I am back running and will definitely be back for checkups to avoid future injuries. I would recommend Josh to anyone with a running injury. 💯
Jessica2024-04-10Currently seeing osteopath here who is lovely and very soothing touch with my sciatica. I've been popping so many painkillers as the pain in my leg has been so extreme. I'm hoping she can cure my bad sciatica altogether... Well worth the price not to mess your stomach up from all those painkillers!!
john whitehead2024-04-05Great clinic. Quick appointments. My treatment from osteopath Ioannis is excellent. Don't think I'll need to go back, but have made an appointment just in case. Highly recommended
stephen ongley2024-03-23Excellent levels of expertise!
Lucy F2024-03-12Had Mummy MOT - very informative, professional, and comfortable setting. Listened to and supported with my concerns. Would recommend.
Fee2024-03-07I was seen by Simon today to review an ACL injury. Simon combined gentle manipulation with acupuncture, and gave clear guideance around exercises I can do to help my healing process. The reception team are so welcoming adding to the experience of the centre, love my chats about the science of curly hair!
Anne-Marie Owen2024-03-03The Good Health Centre is a very welcoming and professional clinic. I see Josh for osteopathy here, and he is excellent.
