Your feet would love a reflexology treatment.

Snoring is considered a 5 star review haha

Reflexology doesn’t come with official warning labels. But if it did, they might look a little like this.

During a reflexology session, gentle pressure is applied to specific reflex points on the feet that correspond with different systems of the body. The aim is to support deep relaxation and help the nervous system shift out of prolonged stress mode.

That sudden silence, spontaneous sighing or even falling asleep are common responses. They’re signs of the parasympathetic nervous system becoming more active - often described as the body’s rest and repair state. As this happens, breathing slows, muscles soften and mental tension can ease.

Many people notice increased thirst or tiredness after a session, which is why hydration and rest are encouraged. Emotional responses can also occur. Stress isn’t just held in the mind. It’s also carried in the body, and when physical tension releases, emotions may soften too.

Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy that supports relaxation, balance and overall wellbeing. Sometimes the most noticeable effect is simply realising how tense you’ve been, and remembering what calm actually feels like.

🌍 World Reflexology Week | 21st–27th September 👣

This week we’re celebrating the healing hands behind reflexology 💜

A reflexologist brings so much more to a treatment than simply knowing where to apply pressure. Their hands are guided by training, knowledge, experience and intuition together with a genuine desire to help each person feel cared for, supported and completely at ease.

Throughout World Reflexology Week, we’ll be celebrating the wonderful work of reflexologists everywhere, sharing more about what happens during a treatment and answering some of the common questions people have about reflexology.

Perhaps reflexology is already part of your self-care routine or maybe it’s something you’ve always been curious to try. Either way, this is the perfect week to learn a little more.

Here’s to the healing hands, caring hearts and incredible skills of reflexologists everywhere 🌍

🔬 REFLEXOLOGY RESEARCH | 2025

A randomized clinical trial has explored the effects of foot reflexology on pain and anxiety in people with leukaemia undergoing bone marrow aspiration.

The study included 68 participants who completed the trial. Those in the reflexology group received one 30-minute foot reflexology session, while the control group received routine care.

What did the researchers find?

Following the intervention, people who received reflexology experienced significantly lower anxiety compared with those receiving routine care alone.

Importantly, pain experienced during and after the bone marrow aspiration procedure was also significantly lower in the reflexology group.

The researchers additionally monitored physiological measures including blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation. While some changes were observed, the clearest findings of the study were the reductions in pain and anxiety.

The authors concluded that foot reflexology may be a valuable non-invasive, supportive approach for helping manage procedural pain and anxiety in people undergoing bone marrow aspiration.

This is particularly interesting for the reflexology profession. Even a single 30-minute session was associated with measurable differences in this clinical setting, adding to the developing evidence around the potential role of reflexology within supportive and integrative healthcare.

While the findings are encouraging, this is one clinical trial in a specific patient population. Further high-quality research is needed to establish how broadly these findings can be applied.

As always, reflexology is a complementary therapy and does not replace appropriate medical treatment or cancer care.
