🦶 Reflexology vs Foot Massage, What’s the Difference?

Both feel good. Both involve the feet, but they are not the same.

A foot massage is a nice way to relax, using slow, flowing strokes and oils to soothe tired feet. It is comforting and pampering, great to feel calm.

Reflexology, on the other hand, is a therapeutic treatment. It is grounded in knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and the body's reflex zones.

As professionally trained reflexologists, we ask about your health issues so we can work with precision, stimulating specific points on the feet and/or hands, ears and face that correspond to organs, glands, and systems in the body to help improve what is happening with your health issues.

The goal is to support your health, restore balance, and activate your body’s natural healing processes.

So while foot massage nurtures the feet, reflexology supports the whole person: body, mind, and nervous system.

With Reflexology, we will feel relaxed 👍more importantly, we will feel more aligned 😄✔️

Reflexology therapists sometime refer to the crystal like deposits on reflexes as "crunchies". It is uric acid or calcium that collects in nerve endings. Through careful stimulation, we help the body break down the deposits so that the body can release them.
