If you’ve ever had a massage and wished you could stretch out that feeling of deep relaxation just a little longer, reflexology might be the perfect way to do it. This simple, yet powerful practice can be added to your massage session in just 15 minutes, giving you an extra boost of stress relief, balance, and overall well-being.

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is based on the idea that certain points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different parts of the body. By applying gentle pressure to these reflex points, we can help activate the body’s natural healing processes, ease tension, and improve circulation.

It’s not just about relaxation—though that’s a big part of it. Reflexology is also known for helping with headaches, digestion, sleep, and even overall energy levels. Think of it as a reset button for your body.

Foot, Hand, or Both? Choosing the Right Reflexology for You

We offer three types of reflexology so you can tailor your experience:

🦶 Foot Reflexology

If you’re on your feet all day or just love that “walking on air” feeling after a good foot massage, this is a great option. Foot reflexology is known to:
✔ Relieve tension and stress
✔ Improve circulation
✔ Support digestion and detoxification

✋ Hand Reflexology

Perfect for anyone who types, texts, or uses their hands a lot throughout the day. It’s also a great choice if you have arthritis, carpal tunnel, or stiffness in your fingers and wrists. Benefits include:
✔ Reduced hand and wrist pain
✔ Better mobility and flexibility
✔ Relief from tension headaches

🦶✋ Foot + Hand Reflexology

If you want the ultimate reflexology experience, why not try both? This option gives you a well-rounded session in just 15 minutes, helping to release tension from head to toe.

Why Add Reflexology to Your Massage?

Massage therapy does a great job of working out muscle tension, improving flexibility, and helping you feel more relaxed. Reflexology takes it a step further by:

✅ Deepening relaxation – Helps quiet the mind and reset the nervous system.
✅ Boosting circulation – Encourages better blood flow and oxygenation.
✅ Easing headaches and pain – Targets pressure points linked to common tension areas.
✅ Supporting detoxification – Stimulates the lymphatic system to help remove toxins.
✅ Improving sleep – Many people report sleeping better after a reflexology session.

What to Expect from a 15-Minute Reflexology Add-On

It’s simple. Reflexology can be done before or after your massage, depending on what feels best for you. You’ll be lying back, fully relaxed, while gentle pressure is applied to your feet or hands. In just 15 minutes, you may feel lighter, more grounded, and even more refreshed than you would from a massage alone.

Try It at Your Next Massage

If you’re curious about reflexology, a quick 15-minute add-on is a great way to experience its benefits without committing to a full session. The best part? It seamlessly fits into your regular massage appointment, making it an easy way to elevate your self-care routine.
