Have a Reflexology Massage?

[Little Lyn]

I love to have my feet and my back massaged. There is a massage place I am planning on going to and want to get a reflexology massage. For any of you that have had it, how did you like it?

it was great until they had me roll over and without warning stuck thier ring finger into my @ss two knuckles deep, I was pretty shocked, I had no idea they were going to do that....

True Reflexology is not actually a foot massage but a form of pressure point therapy on the feet (or hands and ears if the practitioner is trained in them). Spa Reflexology is generally just an overpriced foot massage by someone who has very little training in the modality. :-(

If you really want to try a Reflexology session, which should not hurt by the way, look for a practitioner that has received at least the education standards for the United States (lowest standards in the world for Reflexology education BTW). So this is someone with 100-something classroom hours in Reflexology and about 100 clinical hours working on people.

Try the American Reflexology Certification Board: http://arcb.net or the Reflexology Association of America: http://www.reflexology-usa.org. They both have directories to Reflexologists listed by state.

I got a foot massage/reflexology at this Chinese place and mostly enjoyed it but they pressed really hard and it kinda hurt at times and was really ticklish too, but fun and my feet felt really good afterwards.
