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).

The Awakened Method has helped me reflect on traumatic childhood experiences and understand how they are still affecting me today, such as how I handle stressful situations. This method has provided tools I can use when dealing with anxiety and thus change my typical reactions. I'm able to self-regulate and respond to others in more caring ways, especially in situations where previously I may have been impatient or angry. I'm also feeling a positive shift in my relationship with my daughter as I'm more mindful of being fully present with her when she needs my attention as opposed to being elsewhere in thought. With the Awakened Method, I'm essentially learning that it's okay to slow down, take a breath, reflect and be present in the moment so that I'm better equipped in responding to others, making thoughtful decisions and feeling more connected to people I care about most.

Kaisa is a natural healer! I suffer from a number of chronic ailments including musculoskeletal pain from a MVA years ago, hip/thigh and wrist pain from overuse at work, as well as anxiety. I have had A LOT of body work over the years (chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc.), but the treatment I have received from Kaisa is on another level. She goes the extra mile (or 10!) with her patient care by taking the time necessary to listen, discuss and understand what you are experiencing, and do a thorough evaluation to formulate the right treatment plan for you. Kaisa has a kind and supportive way of encouraging you to participate as a co-therapist in your health journey. She uses a number of different treatment modalities during appointments (acupuncture, cupping, , gua sha, etc.), but most importantly, Kaisa is compassionate and gentle in her treatments with me. Although, treating chronic pain is a long-term commitment and doesn't magically disappear over night, I continue to walk out of each appointment with Kaisa feeling significant relief and improvement, and deeply relaxed. I highly recommend Kaisa! Come see for yourself, as she has been a game changer for me.

I went in for a massage after seeing a chiropractor every 6 weeks for a year with little relief in my upper back and neck. After ONE massage I was able to sleep on my right side PAIN FREE which I hadn’t been able to do in over 12 months. I am so happy. My quality of life improved greatly after just ONE session and I’ve been going back every two weeks for maintenance. Couldn’t recommend lexi more!
