No, and yes. Foot Reflexology is generally misunderstood as a foot massage, but it is much more than that. Foot Reflexology is a scientific art based on the premise that the zones in the feet correspond to all body parts and body functions.

There are 15,000 Reflexology Points on Both Feet
Ā By stimulating any of the 15,000 points in the foot, most blocked energy, mental and physical tensions, and built-up toxins are released. Reflexology therapy can improve circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage, stimulate nerve pathways, and relax muscles.

Know Your Reflexology
People ask me all the time what the difference is between a foot rub and a certified Reflexology session. Unfortunately, many of these so-called reflexology establishments or foot massage parlors give certified Reflexology a bad reputation. Few or none of these established are trained in the healing art of Reflexology.Ā
How Many Hours of Training to Become a Certified Reflexologist?
Foot reflexology certification class is 300 hours long, comprising anatomy, physiology, practice, and clinician sessions. In my training, I also had to write a thesis. Mine was on “Can Reflexology help to diminish or eliminate medication intake.” During my 100 clinician sessions, I found that Reflexology can help reduce or stabilize medication intake but cannot eliminate intake.
Spa Reflexology
Foot massage parlor offers what I call “spa reflexology,” where technicians begin and end the session at the same time. To learn more about Show Reflexology, I visited several foot massage parlors to draw my conclusion. I found Spa Reflexology relaxing, but I am not confident how effective they are. Show. Spa Reflexology touch points on the bottom of the feet, but no organs or glands were emphasized. Most of the time, the technicians take a two day reflexology course and then call themselves certified.Ā

Get Educate What Type of Reflexology Services You Want
Before scheduling a Reflexology session, educate yourself about the type of Reflexology services you seek. The therapeutic version, where the Reflexologist will work with you to balance your body’s energy, or a spa Reflexology, where you get a quick spa treatment.
Price Difference Between Spa and Therapeutic Reflexology
Refrain from letting the low cost of a spa Reflexology lure you into believing you are getting an actual Reflexology session. Ask questions. The quickest way to assess the technician’s education is to ask, “How many hours of Reflexology training have you had?” And if they can’t answer, you are out of luck.
