Reflexology According to our Massage Therapist

The Reflexology Association of Canada defines reflexology as:

“A natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands, ears, and their referral areas which correspond to every part, gland, and organ of the body.”

Through application of pressure to these areas with the therapists specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques reflexology helps to:

  • relieve tension
  • improve circulation
  • helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body

This helps to bring the body back to balance of function known as homeostasis.

Is Reflexology covered by insurance?

Reflexology is not under the RHPA (Regulated Health Professionals Act) and therefore is not covered by extended health insurance plans

Why is Reflexology beneficial?

Reflexology is very beneficial in conjunction with helping the body’s alignment in orthotics, chiropractic care, and massage therapy.
