Reflexology in Geneva

Foot reflex zone massage

What is Reflexology ?

Reflexology is an age-old technique of natural medicine first recorded in China 3,000 years ago. Later, in Egypt and India.

In the West, this method was developed in the early 20th century, notably by Dr. Fitzgerald and later by Eunice Ingham, who is considered the mother of foot reflexology.

How does Reflexology work ?

The organs and regions of our body are represented in miniature under our feet, which have over 7,200 nerve endings.

When the therapist massages the feet, he or she can feel tense areas or crytal deposits which feel like grains of sand on nerve endings.

By applying pressure to these reflex points on the feet, it disperses congestion.

A signal is sent to the corresponding organ or gland, enabling its function to improve. The energy flow is thus reactivated.

Reflexology is a technique for awakening the body’s self-healing capacities and restoring its natural balance.

The benefits of reflexology

The reflex points stimulated during reflexology bring about many benefits.

I’ve been practicing reflexology in Geneva for many years. Being an ASCA-certified reflexologist is a guarantee of the therapist’s professionalism.

How does a reflexology session work?

First of all, the reflexology session opens with time for discussion, to find out the reasons for the consultation and to understand the customer’s needs and expectations.

The patient then lies fully clothed on a massage table, feet, ankles and lower legs uncovered.

After a few relaxing foot movements, work begins on the reflex points.

Certain areas may be tense or sensitive, a sign that they need rebalancing. The practitioner will adjust the intensity of his manipulations according to the feet he is working on.

The session ends with an energetic harmonisation and discussion time.

Session duration

A reflexology session lasts an average of one hour for an adult. The first session lasts longer, around 1h15.

A slightly shorter course of treatment is recommended for the elderly.

A specific 20 to 45-minute protocol applies to babies and children aged 0 to 7.

How often should I practice reflexology?

The frequency of sessions depends on the individual and his or her motivations.

If it’s for prevention or relaxation, sessions can be monthly, for example, or more spaced out.

For those suffering from a specific health issue (stress, insomnia, digestive problems, etc.), we recommend 3 to 5 sessions spaced one to two weeks apart. They can then continue at their own pace to maintain the balance they’ve established.

Depending on the medical issue encountered, reflexology sessions may be held closer together at first, then spaced out according to need and the results obtained at the end of each session.

There is benefit from a one-off session, you will feel relaxed  and re-energises. However, you may find it more effective to have a series of 3 sessions if you need to address a specific issue, then continue at the pace that suits you best to keep the balance in place and the well-being restored during the first sessions.
