Work stress isn’t just about a busy inbox or long hours. It can impact sleep, mood, performance, and overall health.

So what actually helps?

One study exploring reflexology in a workplace setting found:
✔️ 96% of participants showed improvement after reflexology was applied
✔️ Over half experienced a complete disappearance of stress symptoms after a course of sessions
✔️ Stress levels decreased significantly in those at high risk of work-related stress

And this isn’t an isolated finding…
Other research has also shown that reflexology can reduce work stress and anxiety levels, particularly in high-pressure roles like healthcare management

But here’s the important nuance:
👉 The effects can be temporary if sessions aren’t continued
👉 Regular treatments may be needed to maintain the benefits over time

So what does this tell us?
Reflexology isn’t just a one-off reset. It can be a consistent tool for managing stress, especially when built into a regular routine.

Because when stress is constant…
your support systems should be too.

We often think of blood pressure support in terms of medication, diet, and exercise, and rightly so. But this study looked at something a little different: foot reflexology as an add-on.

In a randomized clinical trial led by Kotruchin et al., adults with stage 2 hypertension received a short, targeted reflexology treatment alongside their usual care.

What they found?
👉 A measurable reduction in blood pressure
👉 A decrease in heart rate
👉 Effects seen within just 30 minutes

This wasn’t a replacement for medical treatment, but it does point to reflexology as a useful complementary approach in managing hypertension.

It’s a reminder that small, non-invasive interventions can still have meaningful physiological effects.

We were thrilled to host Catriona Plunkett this week for a session on Baby and Child Reflexology. It was a fantastic opportunity for our members to learn specialist techniques for treating colic and reflux symptoms in our younger community.
