Reflexology 30 Minute

About the Appointment

Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the idea that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs, glands, and systems of the body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexologists aim to promote healing, relaxation, and balance throughout the body. Core Concept Reflexology is rooted in the belief that the body contains energy pathways and that blockages in these pathways can lead to illness or discomfort. Stimulating reflex points is thought to: Encourage the body’s natural healing process Improve circulation Reduce stress and tension Promote overall well-being How It Works A reflexologist uses fingers, thumbs, and sometimes tools to apply firm but gentle pressure to specific zones on the feet, hands, or ears. Each part of the foot or hand is mapped to a specific body region. For example: Toes → head and neck Ball of the foot → heart and chest Arch → digestive organs Heel → lower back and intestines What to Expect During a Session Consultation: Brief health intake or discussion of issues/symptoms. Relaxation: Client lies back, usually fully clothed, with just shoes and socks removed. Treatment: Reflexologist uses precise techniques to stimulate reflex areas. Response: You may feel tingling, warmth, or light sensitivity in areas being treated. Aftercare: Clients often feel relaxed or energized afterward.
