REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is based on the theory that all of the body’s organs, systems, and glands are linked via a nervous system to specific locations on the ear, face, foot or hand.
Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary health therapy. Pressure is applied to your feet, hands and ears to relieve tension, treat illness, balance the nervous system, and stimulates the release of endorphins that help to reduce pain and stress. It is a natural, drug-free way to manage pain and quality of life.
Our reflexologist therapist will gently working the “reflex points” on specific areas of the body, this induces a state of relaxation that releases tension, helps to increase blood flow to the extremities, slows down heart rate and decrease blood pressure.
Learn How Reflexology Works and What It Can Treat
HOW CAN REFLEXOLOGY HELP YOU?
The body naturally heals itself, but illness, stress, or injury can disrupt its balance and block vital systems. Reflexology helps restore this balance, promoting healing.
Each person responds uniquely to the therapy. Skilled reflexologists can detect and release tiny deposits and imbalances by working on specific points.

REFLEXOLOGY VS MASSAGE therapy
Although both reflexology and massage therapy involve applying pressure to relieve stress and enhance well-being, they differ in approach.
REFLEXOLOGY
- Focuses on feet, hands, or ears
- Minimal clothing removal (e.g., shoes only)
- Uses small, precise movements
- Stimulates reflex points to improve organ and system functions
- Requires specialized knowledge of reflex anatomy
MASSAGE THERAPY
- Targets the entire body (muscles and connective tissue)
- Uses larger movements with hands, feet, arms, and elbows
- Works directly on soft tissue for healing
- Involves a deep understanding of muscular anatomy
What to Expect
A typical session lasts 30 to 90 minutes and begins with a health history form and a discussion about your health and lifestyle to tailor the treatment.
You’ll be asked to remove your shoes and socks and either sit or lie down on a massage table. The reflexologist will examine your feet and stimulate various points to detect any tenderness or tension. They may work on specific areas like the ears, face, feet, or hands.
To warm up the hands and feet, brisk movements and massage may be used. The reflexologist will then apply finger or thumb pressure using reflexology techniques. Lotion, oil, aromatherapy, or tools like balls, brushes, and dowels might be incorporated into the treatment.
Exceptions
Be aware that if you have foot ulcers, recent injury, foot or ankle wounds, gout, or a cardiovascular condition, reflexology may not be appropriate or safe. Reflexology may also not be right for people with diabetes, osteoarthritis (affecting the ankle or foot), circulatory problems, active infections, gallstones, kidney stones, or certain types of cancer. Pregnant women should avoid reflexology.
