Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.
How much does a reflexology massage cost?
A reflexology massage costs $40 to $90 per hour or $30 to $75 per half hour. Some reflexologists also offer 45-minute sessions for $50 to $80 each. You'll typically pay a few dollars less per minute when buying reflexology massage as an add-on service to complement another type of massage, or when purchasing a multiple session package. Prices are higher for mobile reflexology massage, where the practitioner comes to you.
What is reflexology massage?
Reflexology is a form of massage in which the therapist, also called a reflexologist, applies pressure on specific points of the feet, hands, and ears. Stemming from traditional Chinese medicine and the belief in the body's energy flow, or Qi, practitioners believe reflexology massage helps release energy blockages and rebalances the body's nervous system.
Some therapists use the term "reflexology massage" for a reflexology session for the feet alone or the feet, hands, and ears, while others use this term to describe a massage therapy session that combines traditional Swedish massage techniques with reflexology techniques.
What are the benefits of reflexology massage?
While reflexology techniques have not been extensively studied, research so far shows that reflexology massage may help:
Decrease arthritis and back pain
Reduce stress and anxiety
Alleviate some multiple sclerosis symptoms
Improve mood and one's overall sense of well-being
Improve sinus issues
Improve constipation problems
Can you get a reflexology massage while pregnant?
Most doctors recommend avoiding reflexology massage during pregnancy due to the effect it may have on blood flow. Always discuss any type of therapy you are considering with your doctor first to confirm it will not put you or your baby at risk.
How do I choose the best reflexology massage service near me?
When searching for a reflexology massage near you, be sure to:
Choose a company or reflexologist that is licensed, insured, and has been in business 5+ years.
Confirm their licensing information. Most states have an online database where you can look up a therapist's license and status.
If your state does not have massage licensing requirements, look for a therapist with at least 500 hours of training from a reputable massage therapy program and specialized training in reflexology.
Look for members of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) or the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).

Absolutely Life-Changing Experience – Highly Recommended!
As a disabled combat veteran, I’ve dealt with chronic pain, injuries, and the lasting effects of service-related trauma for years. I’ve tried everything—traditional medicine, physical therapy, and countless treatments—but nothing has come close to the level of relief and healing I experienced with American Regenerative Bodywork Massage at Energy of Chi LLC/Transitions Healing Arts.
From the moment I walked in, I felt a genuine sense of care, expertise, and understanding that is rare to find. This isn’t just a massage—it’s a holistic healing experience that truly addresses the root of the pain, not just the symptoms. The level of knowledge and skill in regenerative bodywork is unmatched, and the focus on energy alignment, deep tissue work, and personalized techniques made a massive difference in my mobility and overall well-being.
The relief I felt after just one session was incredible—something I haven’t experienced in years. The techniques used are not only effective but also deeply restorative, bringing balance back to both the body and mind. I walked in feeling tense, stiff, and weighed down by pain, and I walked out feeling lighter, more mobile, and genuinely at peace.
If you are dealing with chronic pain, recovering from injuries, or simply in need of deep healing, I wholeheartedly recommend their services. This is not just bodywork—it’s a transformative experience that every veteran, athlete, or anyone struggling with pain should try.
I can’t say enough good things about it—book a session, and thank me later!
