Question: What types of symptoms is reflexology the most helpful for?
Answer: Many people find that reflexology can be a great relief when it comes to lessening the stress levels that they are feeling. Since there are a full seven thousand and two hundred nerves located in the feet alone, manipulating these nerves can be helpful when it comes to interrupting stress systems in the body, therefore making the patient feel much more relaxed and yet energetic.
While stress relief is one of the principle reasons for why an individual may turn to reflexology, people also claim that it can be helpful when it comes to curbing feelings of anxiety, PMS, and even migraine headaches. As a complementary therapy to western medicine, reflexology can be quite helpful in putting the body, as well as the mind, at ease.
Question: How often do I need to visit a reflexologist in order to receive the fullest benefits?
Answer: While you can experience positive effects after just one session of reflexology, many experts from China agree that in order to achieve the best possible results, one should engage in reflexology once per day for six days. After two weeks, the patients progress should be measured, and at that point, another two weeks of therapy may be recommended. The standard reflexology session tends to last around thirty minutes to an hour, and typically requires only the removal of the shoes and socks, although some massage therapists choose to incorporate reflexology into a traditional chair massage.
