Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet (and sometimes the hands) that practitioners believe correspond to different areas of the body. Many people choose reflexology because they find it deeply relaxing and it can complement their overall wellbeing.
Some of the commonly reported benefits include:
Deep relaxation β Many people feel calmer and less stressed after a session.
Reduced stress and anxiety β Reflexology may help activate the body's relaxation response, leaving you feeling more balanced.
Better sleep β Some clients report improved sleep quality following treatment.
Relief from tension β The treatment can help ease muscular tension and promote a sense of wellbeing.
Improved mood β Taking time out for self-care can leave you feeling refreshed, calmer and more positive.
There is some research suggesting reflexology may help reduce stress, anxiety and improve relaxation for some people. However, the scientific evidence is mixed, and reflexology should be viewed as a complementary therapy rather than a treatment for medical conditions. It should not replace medical advice or prescribed treatments.
If you are considering Reiki as well, many people enjoy combining the two therapies. Reiki is another complementary therapy that focuses on promoting relaxation and a sense of wellbeing, and some clients find the combination particularly calming.
