Reflexology is a type of massage therapy that uses pressure on specific points along your feet. The purpose of reflexology is to help you feel better after the therapy. Clients of reflexology report that this type of therapy eases stress and helps the body work better.
In a foot reflexology session, the therapist uses various techniques to treat the feet such as kneading, varied strength of pressure and even herbal soaking of feet. After the session, people will feel lightness of the feet and better blood circulation.
Reflexology Benefits

What You Can Expect During a Reflexology Session
The therapist will start by asking questions about your health, what you eat, your lifestyle, and any conditions you may have. And, she will ask you which area of condition you want to improve. Your answers will help her decide whether to work on your feet, hands, ears, or a combination of those. This is also the time to ask any questions you have and get the answers you have been looking for.
You will usually be in a soothing, spa-like setting with soft music, low lights, and possibly aromatherapy. You might sit in a reclining chair or lie down on a massage table. You’ll also keep your clothes on, but you can wear something comfortable so you can better relax.
