WELCOME TO MAGIC HANDS

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a ancient, holistic therapy in which pressure is applied to either the hands or feet to increase energy flow through the body, to clear any blockages, thus allowing the body to heal itself naturally. The organs and other parts of the body are reflected in the hands and feet (hence the name ‘reflexology’) via energy pathways called meridians. These meridians are the very same pathways that are targeted in acupuncture. Sometimes blockages can be detected as “crunchy” crystals under the skin. These are calcium and uric acid crystals that form in the hands or the feet, giving an indication of imbalance in particular parts of the body. Reflexology also helps the mind and body recover from stress, helping the immune system to work more efficiently.

Reflexology treatments can be done on both the hands and the feet.

What Clients Say

I had a serious case of lymphedema, that made my leg swell and seep lymph. It was painful when lying in bed and affected my sleep. Kevin gave me reflexology on the hands (my leg was too sore to raise). The swelling went down after every treatment, and the lymph seepage stopped after five treatments. It's never came back.
Wendy Gascoigne

I've suffered from arthritis for years. I've only had three treatments from Kevin so far, but I always find the pain is alleviated so much that I'm bursting with energy, and get so much done, for a good five days afterwards.
Christine Moran
Jarrow
Just had my first reflexology session with Kevin and it was extremely relaxing. I had injured the ligaments in one foot a few weeks ago and he was very careful to tailor the treatment, working more on the hand on that side. Both feet feel so much better now and overall my stress level is really improved - exactly what I needed in these challenging times. Kevin worked in a calm and covid-secure way, wearing a visor and me wearing a mask. Will definitely be booking further sessions and felt it was excellent value.
Shirley F
South Shields
First time having a reflexology session with Kevin, hadn't heard much about this practice before so was intrigued when Kevin talked me through it. Explaining what he was doing and how it works. Left feeling refreshed and relaxed. Will definitely be returning and recommending.

FAQ

Below are some Frequently Asked Questions. Please feel free to suggest any more to me, and I will add them if I feel they could be useful to other visitors to this site.

Reflexology is a holistic treatment, meaning it covers the whole body. It is found to be helpful for a whole range of conditions, such as arthritis, back and neck pain, constipation, poor circulation, digestive problems, diabetes, blocked sinuses, lymphedema, chronic fatigue and recovery from surgery, to name but a few.

Sometimes pressing on crystals under the skin can cause a sharp pain or discomfort. It is necessary to break these up, but when it is painful I apply a little less pressure and eliminate the crystals gradually by going over the affected area a few times. Most clients find subsequent passes over the affected area are less uncomfortable.

No. All my charges are transparent and stated above. I will only charge extra, on a pro-rata basis, if a client wants a longer treatment session e.g. to focus on specific areas after the general treatment is completed. An extra 10 minutes treatment, for example, would only be an extra £5.00.

Reflexology is neither a ticklish or particularly painful treatment but some people are uncomfortable about having their feet massaged or pressure applied to them. This tends be less so with the hands. If you decide early on in the treatment that you can’t bear either your feet or hands being massaged then you are free to stop without being charged.
