Reflexology Knowledge Base
Reflexology? I know you can treat symptoms through massaging the feet, but when you go to have reflexology, can you go with a specific complaint, or is it just 'what they find' at the time? Can you have several symptoms treated in the hour or half hour session? I would like expecially to hear from people who have had it and how they found it helped them...

In reflexology is there a specific area on the hands or feet that I could massage or manipulate for insomnia? I don't know much about reflexology, just that certain places on the hands and feet correspond to various other parts of the body and its organs. But does reflexology offer anything in the way of help for better sleep? I've had chronic insomnia following a traumatic event a decade ago. It's hard for me to fall asleep, stay asleep, or sleep deeply, and my health has really suffered as a result. No pharmaceuticals (I've tried them ALL), herbal remedies or "sleep hygiene" tips I've been given over the years has done a bit of good. I'm planning to try hynpnotherapy, EMDR and Alpha-Stim soon with a new, very experienced therapist, but was also curious about reflexology.
Is it healthy to get reflexology for more than 30 minutes a session? I talked to a friend who is a massage therapist and she said that it would be harmful to get a reflexology longer than 30 minutes.I see some places that advertise the services for 30 minutes to an hour. I was wondering if it is safe to get an hour of reflexology once a week? I know this seems unfair,but for the ones that say that it is a scam I would like for you provide a personal experience or link backs up your statement.

Is there a way to perform reflexology at home? Could someone explain how i can carry out reflexology on my feet, e.g do i need to massage certain points on my feet using a feet reflexology chart, or do i tap certain points u get my drift. err DUHH lol, reflexology is to do with pressure points in the feet anyway for goodness sake not a bloody foot spa.
Is it ok to have Reflexology done while Pregnant? I have a prenatal massage appointment tomorrow, and I also scheduled a reflexology treatment along with it. At first I just thought it was just extra time on my hands and feet (because they are so swollen!) and I really wanted to increase circulation and just have them massaged more, but after doing a little research there seems to be more than that going on then just relaxation. Does anyone know for sure if it's safe to have reflexology while pregnant? I'm 34 weeks along. Thanks!
Have you ever had a reflexology treatment and what do you think of reflexology? I met a reflexologist many years ago and received treatments, and also became a massage therapist and gave treatments to others and continue to give treatments to myself (both hands and feet). I have had reflexologists tell me that they had people with medical conditions which were considered hopeless by doctors, and then the reflexology treatments healed them. Have you ever received a reflexology treatment? If so, what do you think of it? Do you believe it works?

Is there 'scientific evidence' on the effectiveness of reflexology? Keep the sarcy comments and neither am I interested in your opinion on reflexology. Try to answer the question or don't bother.

Any information on this subject would be useful. Thanks!
