Foot Reflexology: More Than Just a Foot Rub
What is Foot Reflexology?
Reflexology is a specialized form of foot massage based on the principle that specific points on the feet correspond to different organs, glands, and systems throughout the body. By applying precise pressure to these reflex points, a trained therapist can help promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
How is Reflexology Different from a Regular Foot Massage?
A standard foot massage focuses on relieving tension in the muscles and soft tissue of the foot itself. Reflexology goes further: the therapist uses a detailed map of reflex zones to systematically work the entire foot, targeting points that correspond to areas throughout the body.
What Does Reflexology Feel Like?
Reflexology pressure is typically firm but not painful. Most clients find it deeply relaxing. Some areas may be tender, especially if the corresponding system in the body is under stress.
Sessions at Deejai Thai Massage run 30–60 minutes and focus exclusively on the feet and lower legs.
