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).

Capucio Massage

There’s massage... and there’s a Perfect Massage! Wow. I’ve always enjoyed the occasional massage, but this is altogether something different. It's what I hoped a massage could be: enjoyable, while also significantly therapeutic. Though I am young (30’s) and active, I suffer from mild-moderate chronic back and neck pain due to growing up with poor posture related to my tall height. After a short series of massages, I’ve noticed far longer periods of no pain and far less severe pain when it does flare. I was also shocked that both my mother and father independently exclaimed to me “whoa, are you taller?!” during their visits this summer. I have no doubt it’s due to Rod helping to release the tight muscle bands and fascia that were formerly pulling me into a slouched standing posture. I’m thrilled! As an Osteopathic physician myself, I can vouch for Rod’s professional approach to everything he does, as well as his therapeutic touch: I can tell he contacts the tissues with respect and active listening, only taking them as far as they are ready to go.
Rod has massaged both my girlfriend and my mother, who both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My mother even noted that it was the best massage she has ever had. I would trust Rod with anyone in my family, and certainly feel confident with him entering my home. His 25 years of professional service shine through, and I have complete comfort with his presence. Plus, having him come to the home with his mobile service made it so easy for me to schedule appointments! If you need a therapeutic massage, schedule him. You’ll be glad you did. : )
