On your first visit, your reflexologist will ask you some general questions about your health, lifestyle and medical history. They might ask to speak to your GP if they are concerned that reflexology could interfere with any other treatment or drugs that you are having.
A reflexology session usually lasts between 45 to 60 minutes.
You usually lie down or sit in a reclining chair to have the treatment.
Most people say having reflexology feels relaxing and soothing. But pressure on some areas may be uncomfortable or slightly painful. Your therapist might tell you that this discomfort relates to blockages in energy flow in a particular part of your body.
Your reflexologist may suggest a course of treatments instead of just one session. This can be expensive if you are paying for your own treatment, so always check how much a therapist charges and how many sessions they recommend before booking.
