Did you know that scientists are now using brain scans to explore what happens in the brain during reflexology?

In 2023, Dr. Emeline Descamps—a neuroscientist and certified reflexologist—and colleagues published a groundbreaking study in the journal Scientific Reports. The research was carried out by a neuroscience team at Inserm Unit ToNIC, CNRS, and Toulouse University Hospital (CHU Purpan) in France.

Using resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), the researchers scanned the brains of volunteers before and after a reflexology session to investigate how therapeutic foot touch influences brain activity.

Their findings showed measurable changes in brain connectivity within networks involved in:

• Stress regulation
• Pain processing
• Body awareness
• Resting brain activity and wellbeing

The study also found improvements in heart rate, breathing rate and participants’ reported sense of wellbeing following treatment. While similar changes were also seen after a gentle sham foot massage, the research provides compelling evidence that therapeutic touch to the feet measurably influences brain function.

This is an exciting area of neuroscience that is helping us better understand why so many people leave a reflexology session feeling calmer, more relaxed and more connected to their bodies.

Research into the mechanisms of reflexology is continuing, and studies like this are helping bridge traditional practice with modern neuroscience.

Taking your shoes off for ten minutes costs nothing and may be one of the simplest acts of self-care you can give yourself today.

“Your feet don’t just carry you through life…
they can help bring you back to it.”

Going Barefoot your feet work the way they were designed to :
Encouraging the small muscles, joints and arches of the feet to become more active, helping improve balance.
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that are the most powerful.

Taking off your shoes and placing your feet on grass, sand, or even your own garden isn’t just about feeling connected to nature…
It’s about reconnecting with your body.

What happens when you walk barefoot?

Thousands of nerve endings are stimulated
sensory receptors send information to your brain about balance and movement.

Your nervous system begins to slow
And the body shifts away from “fight or flight” and engages the parasympathetic nervous system— our rest, repair and restore mode.

breathing naturally slows, your body relaxes, reducing tension and the mind becomes quieter

Reflexology is wonderful on its own, but if you really want to switch off, combine it with an Indian Head Massage.

90 minutes of uninterrupted quiet time for both mind and body. A soothing scalp with nourishing hair oils, neck and shoulder massage, followed by gentle reflexology to encourage balance and deep relaxation.

Of all the treatments I offer, this is my personal favourite to both give and receive.
