Possible benefits of such a treatment are:

• Relaxation of the nervous system, decreased stress and anxiety
• Increased circulation (respiratory, digestive, musculoskeletal)
• Helps to flush away metabolites (‘toxins’)
• Aids the body to normalize metabolism (the digestive system for example)
• Compliments all other healing modalities

However, pregnant women may be contraindicated in a few reflexology points

I have also found this therapy to be a good introduction to bodywork for people who may otherwise be uncomfortable with a full body treatment such as shiatsu or massage therapy.
