Clifton Medi Spa

Clifton Medi Spa, previously called Clifton Complementary Medicine Centre, is a registered Healthcare Commission Practice in Clifton that offers health and beauty treatments.
I usually treat myself to a deep tissue massage or a reflexology session if I’m going to splash out on a complementary therapy for relaxation purposes, and at Clifton Medi Spa is was reflexology. While I’m dubious about some of the more ambitious claims of its many benefits, I enjoy it as a straightforward relaxation treatment. I’ve never had a reflexology session I haven’t enjoyed, although some exert more pressure than others. This one was just the right balance, with enough pressure to feel like it’s releasing tension, but not enough to be too painful! Pressure on different parts of your feet is intended to alleviate specific health problems, but for me it just leaves me feeling refreshed and like I’m walking on air afterwards.
They also offer a range of other health treatments such as podiatry and chiropody, which I haven’t tried, alongside their ever expanding range of cosmetic treatments, which I also haven’t tried. The owner has teamed up with Dr Alan Wyn Jones of ‘Defy Time’ to expand the range of cosmetic treatments available at the clinic — and I hear they now offer all sorts from laser treatments to peels, as well as the scary stuff such as injectibles and fillers — but I think I’ll be sticking to the massages and reflexology!
