Reflexology Frequently Asked Questions
Why get a reflexology treatment? - Stress related conditions
- Hormonal imbalances
- Menstrual disorders
- Arthritis
- Back / Shoulder pain
- Tension headaches
- Digestive problems / disorders
- Allergies / hypersensitivities
- Urinary dysfunctions
What should I expect during a reflexology treatment? - Remain fully clothed except for removal of socks and shoes
- Feet may be bathed first in an Epsom salt / tea tree / peppermint essential oil blend while the Reflexologist (RMT) takes a full Health History.
- You comfortably lay face up on a massage table, pillowed and blanketed for comfort.
- The Reflexologist (RMT) will assess your feet and fully relax them with a series of massage techniques.
- A firm, yet comfortable pressure will be applied to your feet in order to identify areas of congestion using a greaseless, hyper allergenic lotion.
Is reflexology treatment ticklish?
No, firm pressure is applied to alleviate this possibility. That being said the treatment should not be painful either. The Therapist needs to know the areas that are sensitive as this may correlate to areas of congestion in your body. These sensitivities will be added to your Health History. During therapy the soreness should subside as they are worked on further. How will I feel after a reflexology treatment?
Most people state that they are in a calm and relaxed state afterwards. Occasionally, patients may become emotional or a little “sad”, depending on their current life circumstances. Please note that any form of body work can trigger these feelings. And, although these may be temporary, these releases are needed in order to move forward to start the “emotional” healing process. How safe is reflexology?
This therapy is completely safe and can be administered to infants and to the elderly.
It does not interfere with any concurrent medical treatment. Treatments could be performed daily, however this is neither necessary nor pocket book friendly. How often should I get reflexology treatments?
Everyone is unique and the therapist advises the patient after their initial assessment what is advisable. If a patient has an acute condition, bi-weekly therapies may be suggested, tapering off as their condition improves. Other interesting comments about reflexology - The American Cancer Society journal found that one third of Cancer patients used Reflexology as a complementary therapy.
- Reflexology is a treatment that can be used in conjunction with other conventional medical therapies as there is absolutely no confliction.
- If you have extended health care insurance this treatment, if administered by a Registered Massage Therapist, may be covered completely or partially.
