What do you budding reflexologist use when you treat someone ?? Is there a particular stool you use if so where can I get a suitable one that will support my back but not pay over the odds for.
Any advice would be most humbly appreciated.
Thanks alot

RE: Reflexologist chair
I use a La fuma for my client and I sit on a dining room chair supplied by the client.
At my clinic the client lies/reclines ona massage couch and I sit on an office chair.

At home, I use a La Fuma chair for my client, and I sit on an office chair.
For mobile work, I use the La Fuma for my client and I sit on a La Fuma CNO folding chair with backrest (has a back, but no arms) which is extremely comfortable and costs about £15.

Hiya,
I use an adjustable therapists stool with my clients on a LaFuma !! I prefer to have the option of adjusting the height of my chair ~ with shorter clients I can sit lower down and for clients with longer legs I move the stool height upwards .... this definately helps my back, especially on days when i'm doing 4 clients or more !!!

I've gotthis one from IKEA: [link= http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20044809 ]http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20044809[/link]
I've taken it to clients' houses as well. It works very well.

I had a therapist stool with backrest, but I found the height adjustment a bit limited - I now use an office chair which has a greater range of adjustment and is more comfortable too. I could not do without a wheelie chair, as I have back problems and was making things worse by contorting myself into weird positions through not being able to scoot around! Now I wheel myself around and it's much better. It depends how much you like to move around when treating. Think about whether you prefer a backrest or not when you're considering your purchase.

Hi there
Well, I got an ab fab recliner for my Reflexology. I was just doing a spot of shopping in the Co-op and I spotted a recliner for £15.99.....yes, that's right...£15.99!
The client's feet rest at the perfect height for me, with me sat on a stool I got from IKEA. My clients absolutely love the recliner and they tell me it's sooooo comfy. I'll agree with them there.. I couldn't believe it when I tried it out myself. It just goes to show that you don't have to spend over the odds for makes like Lafuma and you can still give a professional treatment.

:)Hi All
Will check out the LaFuma as it seems to be a good lightweight one + stool. Have already got a large couch which is "portable" for a reasonably fit male! Wish I had known earlier but perhaps when I have my own building .....
Cheers

stool
hi feet feet, did you look at any stools yet? hows the piles and dry skin on clients going!!!
good luck

the la fumas are coming down in price, and in my opinion have been worth every penny that I spent on mine (£100 including postage). I bought the carry case from the FHT so it protects it and also easier to carry as I have both hands free.
They are now doing the la fumas in cheaper material, and can get them in Argos. Don't know how comfy the cheaper ones are, I love the fact that they are padded.
One thing that I don't like about the la fumas is the gap at the bottom. I have a normal pillow that fits into the carry case and use that, but in some pictures I have seen people using the headrest to cover that hole at the bottom.
Hi Daisy
I have bought the one from Argos (a couple of years ago). its really comfy and all my clients love it - even the extremely heavy pregnant ones too.
For the space at the end, I use a bolster which i cover with the towel I am using for the treatment and the clients feet go on top of this so it gives me that extra height needed.
LaFuma padded one which i use is very good, do not go for cheap one, lafuma i bought it for £100 FHT they sale for £120+postage.
I have had two different recliners, the latest being a Lafuma which I use with a pillow (or the headrest if I ever forget the pillow doing mobiles) - I really like my one and was lucky to get it on ebay at a very reduced price £70 as it was second hand, but in excellent condition. I also have one of the small adjustable footrests on the odd occasion when I go out and can't drive, which is pretty useful.

Hi all
Finally bought a La Fuma at a garden centre locally and it is brilliant. Already had a therapists adjustable stool which did not go low enough for the couch so was about to use an office chair which goes lower, but now I do not have a problem and of course being mobile the La Fuma is easier to transport.
