What the treatment feels like
When Reflexology is applied to different reflex areas in the feet, different feelings will be present in various areas. Some areas may feel very sharp and the patient thinks the practitioner is using their nail to press into the foot. Others describe this tenderness like a thorn or broken glass pressing into the point.
The different sensations felt in the different reflex points may indicate to the Reflexologist which parts of the body are out of balance or may indicate that the energy is blocked. Sometimes the reflex areas appear very insensitive even though the person is not in good health. In these cases, feet usually become more sensitive after the second or third session as the energy flow to the feet improves (that is why we suggest weekly treatments for 8 to 10 sessions). It appears that the treatment still works even if tender areas are not felt in the feet and this is why it is important that your therapist understands which reflexes need to be work on in different conditions.
