Spa & Foot Reflexology

The goal of a reflexology session involves improving organ function and eliminating toxic substances. Spas offer foot reflexology as a complete service, or you can add it to a traditional massage.

  1. Procedure

    • After taking off your socks and shoes, a therapist applies pressure to points on your foot that correspond to another body part, such as the kidneys, during a 30- or 60-minute spa foot reflexology session.

    Cost

    • Spa foot reflexology sessions can generally range from $20 to $100 per session, depending on the region you live in and the length of the treatment.

    Benefits

    • According to Reflexology-Research.com, foot reflexology increases circulation, decreases pain, promotes relaxation and rids the body of toxins. Proponents of this therapy claim that foot reflexology can even aid in improving memory.

    Considerations

    • Consider cleaning your feet before a foot reflexology session to show respect for the therapist performing the procedure.

    Warning

    • If the pressure used during a spa foot reflexology session becomes painful, tell your therapist immediately.
