Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis has been used for centuries to control pain. From major amputations to the resetting of broken limbs, hypnosis is excellent for producing analgesia meaning absence from pain and anaesthesia meaning absence of any sensation. Hypnotherapy can help you to manage pain by reframing the pain using unconscious mind processing such as dissociation and numbing. This happens quite naturally and spontaneously as you enter the hypnotic state.

Reflexology

Reflexologists are trained to work on the various pressure points located on your feet. It is these points that they apply pressure to during your treatment. The points are powerful energy points which contribute to the rebalancing of your inner systems. Reflexology can be very effective for any type of back pain, whatever its origin. When the right areas of the feet or the hands are treated with the right amount of pressure, the results can be amazing. Nerve flow to the area of the back causing the pain can be improved and, over several sessions, or a matter of a few weeks in many cases you can feel the benefits of reduced pain.
