What
is involved in a Reflexology session?
The reflexologist aims to provide a feeling of well-being
and healing atmosphere for a client. It is usual that before
the first session, the client’s medical history is
discussed. After an inspection of the feet and hands, the
reflexologist will individually stimulate each foot and/or
each hand. The bottom, top and sides of the feet and/or
hands receive a thorough massage. By taking into account
the needs of a client, a reflexologist will vary the amounts
of pressure on different areas of the foot and hand. Cream
may be applied to the feet at the beginning or end of the
reflexology session.It is important that you are comfortable
with the stimulation, as relaxation is the primary goal
of reflexology, and you need to feel comfortable in order
to relax in your session. If at any time you feel discomfort
or that the pressure being applied is too much you should
inform the reflexologist.The entire process requires approximately
45 minutes to an hour.
