How Often Should I Visit My Reflexologist?

It really depends on what condition you are working on. The wellness standard is one treatment per month in order to maintain health and relaxation. This assumes there are no particular health issues, and is a good guide.

Visits have to be measured by each individual response. You might find you need to schedule 1-2 times a week for a short time and then decrease as your condition improves. 

Once a week is not unusual, and can encourage chronic conditions to begin mending themselves. Every one responds differently. And often people get very dramatic results with just one visit.

Or to put it another way...

It all depends on your reasons for wanting a reflexology treatment. If you are in good health, and are looking to maintain wellness, a monthly treatment is recommended to keep your body in balance. However, if you are seeking treatment for chronic or acute conditions, then frequency and length of treatments will change. 

Every person is an individual. Reactions and outcomes will vary.

I've included a link to an article which is along the lines of this topic.

Note the dramatic difference in results with reflexology when sessions are scheduled closer together.

Reflexology Versus Massage

Are Reflexology and Massage the same thing?

Although sometimes called a "Reflexology Massage" - Reflexology and Massage are not the same. Each have individual and unique benefits.
Reflexology  Uses the hands and fingers to make small movements with varying amounts of pressure on the hands. feet and lower leg. Reflexology benefits the entire body and internal organs by way of the nervous system. And, is recognised to benefit the body internally, while massage is considered to be more topical (working the surface of the body).

Massage, on the other hand can be done with the hands, elbows, arms and sometimes even feet and uses much bigger sweeping motion. It is applied over the entire body and requires clients to undress. Massage benefits the area that is touched such as working out tension in the shoulder, where as Reflexology benefits the entire body just by working on the feet.

Reflexology - Myth and Fact

Reflexology is a scientific art which works reflex areas in the feet, hands, head and ears that correspond to distinct parts of the body.

Myth- Reflexology is just a foot massage.

Fact- Foot Reflexology is not massage and is much more than a good foot rub. Reflexology deals with pressure points on the feet that correspond to distinct and various parts of the body.

Myth- A Reflexologist can diagnose specific illness through the feet.

Fact- There can be many underlying causes for imbalances manifesting themselves in the feet. We do not diagnose and always suggest you work closely with your medical doctor or appropriate health care provider. Reflexology supports overall well-being which enables your body to concentrate healing energies where they are needed.

Myth- Reflexology only involves the feet and has to be painful in order to work.

Fact- Reflexology can be practiced on but is not limited to the feet, hands, head and ears and need not be painful. Even gentle pressure by the practitioner can result in stress reduction, relaxation and improved circulation.

Myth- There is no scientific proof that Reflexology works.

Fact- Currently, there are more than 300 research studies worldwide documenting effectiveness of Reflexology, including a landmark study on PMS that was published in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Journal on December 1993.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8233263?dopt=AbstractPlus

Reflexology is both an art and a science. It originated from European Zone Therapy, and was then refined in the US by noted health care professionals. The foot is quite sensitive and responds well to Reflexology, having over 7000 nerve endings. Reflexology can negate the effects of stress, which is a major contributor to modern disease, and gently nudge the body toward better health. For more than a century, an international array of scientific work has validated Reflexology and it's effectiveness. And is gaining recognition and acceptance of scientist and health care professionals as a valid complement to conventional medicine.
