What Should You Expect From Reflexology
What Should You Expect From Reflexology. Although reflexology is proven to be beneficial for a multitude of problems, your reflexologist cannot diagnose or claim to cure any diseases.
They are not medically trained to do so. The practice of reflexology is meant to bring your body to a state of well-being. Only in this state is your body able to heal itself and perform at an optimal level.
If your body is full of toxins, your immune system is severely compromised, making you much more likely to succumb to sickness and disease. Once you have made the decision to visit a trained reflexologist, you may be wondering what you can expect from him or her.
You may also be asking yourself, what if I am embarrassed about my feet, or my feet are ticklish, how will I be able to handle the therapy? All of these are viable questions. As far as the appearance of your feet, dont worry about them. All feet are different and there is nothing to be ashamed about.
The only possible thing that might come up in direct relation to the appearance of your feet may be if you have a severe problem with corns or the like. In this case, your reflexologist may recommend treatment options. Ticklish feet are not usually a problem for a reflexologist.
Once pressure is applied, the sensation will quickly turn from a tickle to massage and you should be ok. Very, and I mean very few people that claim to have ticklish feet are unable to go through with the therapy. Your therapy session will begin with a questionnaire or one on one question and answer session.
This is, of course to get your personal history and determine where your therapy should be most concentrated.
For example, if you are going in suffering from frequent migraines and neck pain, your reflexologist will concentrate on the areas of the feet and sometimes the hands, in areas that deal with the head and neck.
Quick Reflexology Fact
Make sure you tell them up front that you can change your degree of pressure to suit their needs. That is the only way they will know that you can accommodate them and are not just unknowledgeable and inexperienced. 4. Take an active approach in respect to customer service. Call your client the day after therapy and ask how they are doing. |
Of course, you will be treated in all areas of the feet. In order to bring your body to a state of well-being, you must detoxify your organs and this is exactly what happens during reflexology therapy.
After the initial interview, your ears, feet and hands will probably be thoroughly looked over for discolorations and tender spots.
According to the theories reflexology stems from, these things can be warning signs that correlating body parts are not functioning, as they should.
At this point the therapy will begin. It will usually start with rubbing of the ears, hands or feet and then will turn into pressing. It closely mimics acupuncture, but without needles.

One theory that tries to explain how reflexology works claims that it works on the body’s energy field or Qi and that when you stimulate this life force in the correct way you can unblock bottlenecks and increase the flow of vital energies. |
By pressing in certain areas of the feet, hands and even the ears, the brain will send signals and release neurochemicals to stop pain and relieve tension.
Probably one of the biggest expectations is the relaxation factor. It is true; you will become very relaxed during the therapy. Believe it or not, some people even fall asleep.
It is one of the single most powerful ways to relax and eliminate stress in your body. Once you try it you will be a believer, furthermore you will be hooked.
