The Cons of Reflexology
Reflexology is not suitable for everyone, and there are some people who should avoid it altogether. While reflexology can offer many benefits, there are also some potential risks that should be considered. These include:
Little scientific evidence to support claims.
There is very little scientific evidence to support the claims that reflexology can relieve stress or pain, improve circulation, or promote weight loss. A few small studies have found that reflexology may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, but more research is needed. The best available evidence suggests that reflexology is a safe, gentle form of massage with few side effects. However, some people may experience discomfort during a reflexology session. If this occurs, be sure to tell your practitioner so they can adjust the pressure accordingly.
Risk of side effects, such as pain and bruising.
There is a risk of side effects from reflexology, such as pain and bruising. The most common side effect is pain. This can occur if the pressure is too deep or if the person receiving the treatment is sensitive to touch. Bruising can also occur if the person receiving the treatment has fragile skin. There are other potential side effects, but these are rare. They include fainting, infection, and blood clots. The risk of side effects is generally low, but it's important to talk to your reflexologist before starting treatment.
The type of massage may be uncomfortable for some people.
The therapist will work on specific points of the feet that correspond to different parts of the body. The pressure may be too much for some people and cause them discomfort. If you have any medical conditions, talk to your doctor before you book a session.
Reflexology treatments can be expensive.
The average reflexology session can cost anywhere from $30 to $100. The price will depend on the location, the length of the session, and the experience of the reflexologist. If you are thinking about getting a reflexology treatment, be sure to ask about the cost beforehand.
You may need multiple sessions to see any benefits from reflexology.
The number of sessions you'll need depends on the severity and chronicity of your health condition. A single session may be all that's necessary to ease an acute (short-term) condition, such as premenstrual syndrome or a headache. But if you have a chronic (long-term) condition, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or diabetes, reflexology can be an important part of your health maintenance plan.
You might start with weekly sessions and then reduce the frequency as your condition improves. Some people find they need periodic "tune-ups," especially as they get older or when their life situation changes.
Reflexology is an activity that comes with pros (relaxation) as well as cons (no scientific evidence of health benefits). Talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you, and get recommendations for certified practitioners in your area. If you decide to give it a try, remember that you likely won’t experience any miraculous health benefits, but you just might enjoy the relaxation reflexology can provide.
