What Happens When You Have a Detox Treatment?

Before your treatment begins you will be asked some questions regarding your general state of health and well-being. It is very important that you inform me of any health conditions, medication or treatment you may be taking. It is also useful if you could tell me how you would like to feel after the treatment.

If at any time during the session you are at all uncomfortable; you feel any pain; the pressure is not right; you are too hot; too cold or simply want silence from the music PLEASE tell me. Sessions last approximately 50 minutes.

The massage takes place in a quiet room on a couch with or without music. You will be asked to remove any glasses and jewellery and left to undress on your own. For the DETOX treatment you are asked to remove all your clothes and underwear. You will be provided with a large towel with which to cover yourself. At no time will any part of your body, other then the area being worked on, be exposed. You will not be touched on your genitals or your breasts (women), and these parts will never be exposed.

Before the treatment starts I will teach you some hand signals so that you are in complete control of how deep you want the pressure to be on both your feet and your abdomen. The treatment starts with work on the reflex points of the feet. This work is very deep but you should feel no pain and it is incredibly relaxing. I then ask you to turn over so that I can work on the abdomen. At no time will you be exposed as you are covered by the towel. I place a second towel across your chest to expose the belly and then begin work on your abdomen, stimulating your colon through a combination of gentle massage and vibration.

After the massage you will be left alone to dress. Once you are dressed you will be asked to walk around the room for a short while talking about anything you may notice about yourself which feels different. This helps to encourage you to take those feelings off the massage table and out into the rest of your day, and ensures that the massage carries on working long after the treatment has finished.

A course of DETOX treatments is seriously recommended to get the greatest benefit from this treatment.

It is also advised that you increase your intake of water to 2 litres per day to help support your kidneys in their work of releasing toxins from the body.
