anybody believe in reflexology? I do. I do reflexology from time to time when I was in my home country. it was cheap there, I pay less around USD6 for an hour. reflexology for me is like a 'service' to my body. everytime I did one session I will feel fresh an healthy! anybody has experience with reflexology? anybody heal from a sickness just because he/she uses reflexology? anybody provide refloxology service?

Hi there. I have had reflexology done and it felt really great, I dont think its a matter of believing, this is a form of massage for the hands and feet, there are pressure points in the feet that represent the organs in the body... My mom does this as part of her massage to clients and I love it... http://www.nzhealth.net.nz/healing/reflexology.shtml http://www.reflexology-research.com/whatis.htm

I have never had reflexology done for me, I do not know anyone who has. I do not doubt that there may be some connections that are stimulated by it, and that people might feel better, probably will feel better. I will check back to see what other people on here say. I believe I would have to feel better all over if someone gave my feet some wonderful massage.

I do believe in reflexology. Unfortunately I have not gone to any reflexologist because I can't afford. I'm just contented with doing it myself and I feel much better and relaxed.

good on you as you know how to do it. i heard that general touch to reflexology points in our feet is good enough to ease blood flows etc. is it true that we must not overdo it?

I love to go for a session of reflexology although I do not use it to help with any medical condition. I find it helps me to relax and makes me feel really well. You are lucky here in the UK it is expensive for an hour of treatment around £20/$40

its resonable because your salary is very high there in UK. In my home country most people made only 9 pound per day...

you can do it by yourself. search in the internet for reflexology homepage, there are basic reflexology techniques that you can apply straight away there. easy. you will feel the different after you pinch some reflexology points, (dont overdo it though as you are not an expert yet)..

Many people do not believe in reflexology, but I think that it is a legitimate method of treating some bodily pains and aches. It is much writen about in ancient medical texts especially those orginating from Asia and many people have reported feeling much refreshed after a reflexology session.

Hi salam, Reflexology is a pretty new thing in India. We do not have more trained reflexlogists here but I feel it's a great healer in its own right. I remember having some wrist pains and neck pains and my sister used to put pin pressurise on the joints . it worked wonders!! She did it without any specialisation, just out of knowledge (which is not good i agree). Later on I find this technique is creating waves in the west and now in east as well. Salam, i certainly need some good sessions of reflexology given the amount of pains I am having currently. Lol..

USD6? As in $6 us dollars? Wow that sounds very inexpensive. My area a reflexology treatment is likely to run more like $20-$50. I'm a student midwife and I plan on taking an intro to reflexology as a supplementary course for my midwifery practice. It seems a non-invasive & gentle way to promote health & well-being. I've already read quite a few books on the subject & started practicing on myself & my partner, but I don't feel confident enough with it to offer it to others.

Yeah its cheap if you see in US$. In my homecountry US$6 = 20 my countries's dollar. And that US$6 is nearly half a day work for most people. So its relatively not cheap for us there..

I have heard this word for the first time - what does it mean - is it something to improve your reflexes?
