Reflexology is a pressure-based therapy applied mainly to the feet, hands and ears. Practitioners work specific points believed to correspond with organs and systems of the body, aiming to encourage relaxation and balance. Sessions are typically done while you remain seated or lying down, fully clothed, with only shoes and socks removed — a popular choice for people who prefer a gentler, non-oil treatment.

You will usually sit or lie down while the therapist works pressure points on your feet, and sometimes your hands. The pressure is firm but should stay comfortable. Many people feel deeply relaxed, and some feel tired afterwards.
Reflexology uses steady, structured pressure rather than light touch, so it rarely tickles. If an area feels uncomfortable, tell your therapist and they will adjust.
Most sessions are 30 to 60 minutes. A first visit often includes a short consultation about your health and goals.
