Reflexology Massage FAQ
How does reflexology massage work?
Reflexology is an alternative therapy that applies
pressure to feet , hand or ears. Our reflexologist’s believe that applying pressure
to particular areas can promote health in the corresponding organs through energetic
pathways.
For example:
- the tips of the toes reflect the head
- the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot
- the liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot
- low back and intestines are towards the heel
What will I feel?
Most people find reflexology for the most part to be very relaxing.
Reflexology shouldn't be painful. If you feel discomfort, be sure to tell the reflexologist.
He or she should work within your comfort zone.
Is it ticklish?
The reflexologist will apply firm pressure to the feet, thereby avoiding any ticking
sensation.
I’m diabetic - is this a problem?
You will need to be referred to us by your Doctor
if you are diabetic.
Will it hurt?
Some areas may be tender or sore, and our reflexologist will spend extra time on
these points. The soreness should decrease with pressure.
What does reflexology do?
Reflexology is a popular alternative therapy. Our therapist’s
tell us that it promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes
tired feet, and encourages overall healing.
I think I have a health problem, will reflexology fix it for me?
Reflexology is recommended as a complementary therapy and should not replace medical
treatment.
What is a typical reflexology treatment like?
A typical treatment is 45 minutes to
60 minutes long and begins with a consultation about your health and lifestyle. You
are then asked to remove your shoes and socks and lay on the massage table. You remain
fully clothed. Our reflexologist’s will assess your feet and then stimulates various
points to identify areas of tenderness or tension.
What does the therapist do?
The reflexologist then uses brisk movements to warm the
feet up. Then pressure is applied from the toes to the heel according to your comfort.
How will I feel after?
Most people feel calm and relaxed after a treatment. They
may even feel sleepy.
