What is reflexology? It is a therapy that designates to certain zones of the feet that will actually improve a client’s health. As a spa professional, you will knead, massage and squeeze the different parts of the feet to correspond with different parts and organs of the entire body. It has been believed that reflexology can actually help reduce stress and pain in different parts of the body, by only touching the client’s feet.
As a professional, you will need to know and understand the different zones in the feet, called the “reflex zones” so you will be able to help your client get the appropriate result of this type of treatment. For example, if a client were to be complaining of having a lot of stress and cannot seem to relax, you should know where to massage her feet in order to have her see and feel a result. In this case, you should massage the top of the toes because that is where the brain zone is, and that should help reduce stress that the client is trapping.
