Question 7

Does Reflexology diagnose illnesses?

Accepted Answer

No, Reflexologists are not qualified to diagnose illnesses.

Question 8

How will I feel after the session?

Accepted Answer

Reflexology has a different effect on each individual, depending on their own circumstances. Most people I find tend to feel calm, relaxed or even sleepy, while others feel energetic and full of life.

Some people can experience the feeling of light headedness, emotional sensitivity or extreme tiredness, but these are indications that the treatment is having a positive effect and these will only be short-term side effects and go away shortly after a session. This is transitory and a sign of healing. Drinking plenty of water is highly recommended.

Question 9

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

This will depend on your reasons for having Reflexology. My recommendation is to initially have a succession of 4 to 6 weekly sessions to give your body a chance to respond well. If your body has been out of balance for some time, it is fair to expect that it will take time and a number of sessions to regain balance. After this time, many people opt for a session once a month to keep them balanced.

Some clients alternate Reflexology sessions with other relaxing modalities such as massage or acupressure.

Finances and time can dictate the answer to this question as well, but your body will thank you whenever you get the chance to have a session.
