Vancouver Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a very ancient healing system dating back 4000 years. The oldest known recordings were found in the tomb of an Egyptian Physician. Reflexology is used to relieve stress and create balance in the body by working specific areas and points mapped out on the bottom of the feet.

Does Reflexology have to be Painful in order to work?

No! Although there are various techniques and forms of Reflexology that can be extremely painful, it definitely does not have to be painful in order to see results. Most feet may have tender spots or areas of the feet, which by the end of the treatment are either less tender or not tender any longer.

What kind of Reflexology Treatments do we offer at Elements?

You will lie on your back on a massage table, face up, with your shoes and socks removed. You will be made comfortable with a blanket and soft music. Essential oils or lotions may be applied to your feet during and after the session. Many clients fall asleep during the treatment due to the feeling of extreme relaxation.

What if I have Fungus on my feet or toe nails?

We use a product called Triguard, which is very effective in killing fungus. Just let us know a head of time and we can prepare a foot soak for you at an additional charge with Triguard.
