Reflexology in the workplace

Research into Reflexology

Research and experience show that regular reflexology for the employees improves their health and wellbeing, productivity, morale, reduces stress and anxiety, considerably lessens neck, back, shoulder pain and heavy legs feeling.

It stimulates detoxification (toxins in the body cause headaches, fatigue, aches and pains, lungs and sinus congestion, skin problems, digestive system problems, hormonal imbalance, etc.), prompts recovery from common cold and strengthens the immune system.

Reflexology improves and balances circulation which  is crucial for all body functions and staying healthy.

And many more – please have a look at the “Research into Reflexology”.

Below there are a few studies on the impact                 of reflexology in the workplace.

Study 1

The Odense Postal District employed a reflexologist       for 3 years to deal with employee stress. Two hundred and thirty five employees participated resulting in a 25% fall in sick leave, saving £110,000 and 170 employees reported a good impact on their health.

Study 2

A reflexologist was employed for 6 months. 52 employees (all women) were treated for various ailments.

• Sick leave fell by 65.9%

• 97.5% had a positive effect on their primary problem

• 77.5% had a positive effect on their secondary problem

• They had a 27.5% reduction in medication

Study 3

143 people employed in the council of Aarhus had regular reflexology with the following results:

• 79% had complete or partial recovery for their primary problem

• 57% had a positive effect on their secondary problem

• 30% were more satisfied at work

• 92% would like to continue with treatments.

Study 4

SAS Cargo saved an estimated £2,000 a month         by giving staff access to reflexology.

In the UK, the Danish example is now being followed     by large and small businesses of all kinds, as well as city councils, schools, hospitals and football teams.

I adjust my reflexology treatments to people in their workplace so they can feel comfortable, relaxed and after the session - ready to go back to work.

Treatments are carried out in the reclining position -    I provide a special bed/recliner - and usually last          30 min.

During a free consultation we discuss the employee’s needs and suitable scheme tailored to your circumstances.

All you need is to allow a room available for treatment.

Employees pay themselves for their treatments,             or the employer can subsidise the cost either in part      or in full.

Costs scheme:

• Half day (3 to 5 treatments):                               one session: £13

• Full day: (up to 10 treatments):                          one session: £12

              What is attractive in this formula:               Reflexology in the workplace is much more affordable and convenient than individual sessions.
