Discounted Treatments With Private Health Insurance

If you have private health insurance, either as an individual or as an employee benefit, check out the small print! 

Many companies offer cover for reflexology treatments, so make sure you're not missing out on this valuable health and wellbeing benefit.
 
Most Health Insurance companies don't need a GP referral (though check out your individual plan to make sure), but they usually require that your reflexology practitioner is a registered member of a recognised professional body.  I think I'm right in saying that The Association of Reflexologists (of which I am a member) is the largest professional association in the UK.

Usually insurance companies require written confirmation from the practitioner of the price and number of treatments - a letter on headed paper usually suffices.

So, if you have access to private health insurance, check out your policy.  You may be entitled to a large percentage off your treatments for a number of reasons including support for:
  • Wellbeing
  • Back care
  • Fertility 
  • Pregnancy 
  • Digestive Issues
  • Stress
  • Migraine and Headache

I've just been looking at a blog on the Health Shield website.  They include Reflexology in their wellbeing package and this is what they have to say about Reflexology:

"
Aside from relaxation and stress management, reflexology can have a number of other benefits too, including:
  • Cancer – reflexology is regularly used on those suffering with cancer. It is known to reduce symptoms caused by chemotherapy including nausea, pain, constipation and diarrhoea. It can also help with sleep and anxiety.
  • Arthritis – reflexology has also been used to treat for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, with patients reportedly feeling up to 40% less pain.
  • Hypertension – a common risk of heart disease, reflexology is thought to assist with the reduction of hypertension.
  • Anxiety and depression – the two most common mental health problems. The relaxation side of reflexology can extend to the mind to calm and aid any signs of depression and anxiety.
  • Multiple sclerosis – this is a disease of the nervous system and it’s suggested that reflexology decreases the fatigue felt with multiple sclerosis, and that it may reduce the tingling sensations experienced.
  • Circulation – receiving foot reflexology is known to improve your blood circulation to vital organs. This in turn can result in quicker healing and regrowth of any damaged cells.
  • It can also be useful during pregnancy and even reduce the risks of post-natal depression.

​So, if you have Private Health Insurance, check out your policy and see if you can get heavily discounted Reflexology treatments.  If you can, why not book a treatment today.
