What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a therapeutic foot treatment based on the idea that specific points on the feet correspond to different organs, systems, and areas of the body. By applying gentle, targeted pressure to these reflex points, reflexology aims to support the body’s natural healing processes and promote overall balance and relaxation.
How Can Reflexology Help?
- Many people choose reflexology to help with:
- Stress reduction and relaxation
- Improving circulation
- Reducing muscle tension
- Supporting nervous system balance
- Promoting better sleep
- Encouraging overall wellness
While reflexology is not used to diagnose or treat medical conditions, it can be a supportive therapy for both physical and emotional well-being.
What to Expect at a Reflexology Appointment
During your appointment:
- You’ll remain fully clothed and relax in a comfortable position
- Only your feet will be worked on
- Your practitioner will use specific pressure techniques on different areas of your feet
- Pressure can be adjusted to your comfort level
Many patients find the experience extremely calming and may even drift off during the session.
How Will You Feel After?
After a reflexology session, people commonly report feeling:
- Deeply relaxed and calm
- Lighter or less tense
- Refreshed and grounded
Some may notice mild tenderness in certain areas of the feet during or after treatment, which typically resolves quickly. Drinking water and allowing time to rest afterward can help maximize the benefits.
