REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a traditional massage technique that stimulates reflex points on the feet, and it suits anyone dealing with chronic pain, muscle tension, or built-up stress who wants to support overall balance in the body.
What is reflexology massage?
Reflexology massage applies firm, precise pressure to specific reflex points on the sole of the foot, each of which practitioners associate with a different organ or system in the body. Stimulating these points is intended to help release tension and support balance throughout the body.
What are the benefits of reflexology?
Reflexology may help reduce stress, ease muscle pain, and support circulation and relaxation.
- Reduces stress and induces deep relaxation
- Supports blood circulation
- May help support the function of internal organs
- Eases muscle pain
- Supports the body's natural detoxification processes
- May help support the immune system
What happens during a reflexology session?
The reflexologist uses slow, deep movements on the sole of the foot to release tension and stimulate circulation in the related area. A standard session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, and most people find it relaxing rather than uncomfortable, although some reflex points can feel more sensitive if there is tension in the associated area.
How many reflexology sessions are needed?
Results can often be felt after the first session, but a course of 5 to 10 sessions is generally recommended for lasting benefits.
Who should avoid reflexology massage?
Reflexology is not recommended for people with acute infections, severe circulation issues, or open wounds, and pregnant clients should consult a specialist before treatment.
