No — reflexology is a structured modality based on a map of reflex points on the feet, hands, and ears that correspond to organs and body systems. A foot massage relaxes muscles; reflexology targets specific reflex zones with therapeutic intent.
Reflexology should not be painful. You may feel sensitivity or tenderness in certain reflex zones, which can indicate areas that need attention, but pressure is always kept within a comfortable range.
Regular reflexology sessions support stress relief, improved circulation, reduced tension, better sleep, and overall balance in body systems. Many guests use reflexology to complement treatment for chronic conditions.
We offer foot reflexology, hand reflexology, and auricular (ear) reflexology, as well as ear seeding — a non-invasive acupressure technique using small seeds placed on auricular points.
