What is reflexology?
Reflexology works on the principle that points on the feet, hands and ears correspond to organs and systems elsewhere in the body. The therapist applies precise thumb and finger pressure to those points, usually working the whole foot in a set sequence and spending longer where the tissue feels congested or tender.
You stay fully clothed apart from shoes and socks, and lie back in a reclining chair or on a couch. Despite being confined to the feet, the effect is felt through the whole body: most people describe deep relaxation, and reflexologists use it for stress, sleep, digestive complaints, hormonal symptoms and the general fatigue of long illness or long shifts on your feet.
Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes. Reflexology is regulated on a voluntary basis in the UK through the Association of Reflexologists and the CNHC register, and many practitioners list those memberships on their profile.

Where to find it in Leeds
Most work from their own treatment rooms rather than from studios, so incall is the norm and mobile appointments are offered by a minority, mostly to the hotels around the station and Wellington Place. The city centre covers the financial district and the gym trade, with sports and deep tissue the most requested treatments. Headingley and Chapel Allerton are residential, quieter and daytime-oriented, with a high proportion of therapists holding reflexology and holistic qualifications alongside massage.

Frequently asked questions
Does reflexology hurt?
Some points feel tender when pressed, which reflexologists read as a sign of imbalance, but the pressure is never forceful and the therapist will ease off if you ask. Most of the session feels relaxing.
Is reflexology the same as a foot massage?
No. A foot massage uses general massage strokes for relaxation; reflexology applies specific pressure to mapped points with a therapeutic aim. The two are often combined at the end of a session.
How much does reflexology cost?
Usually £35 to £60 for a 45- to 60-minute session, making it one of the more affordable treatments in the directory.
