Reflexology

It works through a subtle energy flow, meridians and zones in the feet. It also works through preventing and clearing venous stasis, realignment of bones, the nervous system, intention and ways still unknown. Some benefits include but not limited to stress reduction and deep relaxation, enhanced circulation, balanced body systems, stimulated creativity and productivity, revitalized energy, preventative health care.

Reflexology sessions are done with clients fully clothed, removing only their shoes and socks. Sessions are typically 45 - 60 minutes long, and clients are positioned comfortably on a massage table (or in a reclining reflexology chair).   Reflexology can also be integrated into a longer therapeutic massage session.

To avoid being worked on by untrained and possibly-exploited persons, it is advisable to ask those advertising reflexology  where they trained, the number of hours of coursework, and  the professional organizations they are members of.
