Step 1
Complete a preliminary consultation with the reflexologist. You will fill out a health history form and consent form at your first reflexology session. You also will discuss the general condition of your feet and any specific areas of pain.
-
Step 2
Sit in a comfortable chair and extend your feet in a relaxed position. A recliner is preferred and many reflexologists have a special "zero gravity" recliner that places the client at the correct height and position.
-
Step 3
Remove your socks and shoes so the reflexologist can examine your feet. You will receive a warm footbath with aromatic mineral salts. This should relax you and prepare your feet for the reflexology session.
-
Step 4
Start with the right foot and warm up with a light, mild lotion that eventually will become non-slippery. The reflexologist will work a series of reflex points on your foot using the right amount of pressure for your comfort level. Any sensitive or tender points should be noted for later work.
-
Step 5
Repeat this process with the left foot and spend additional time working any areas that were previously noted as sensitive. This session should release endorphins into your bloodstream, leaving you clear-headed and relaxed.
