Whether you are in it for relaxation or you would like to try an alternative approach to curing your health concern, the search for your reflexology therapist should be a properly performed. There is no excuse in here; and it's not worth saying that you don't have the time and the patience to ask around and check each and every therapist available in your area. It is imperative that you get the best and the most able practitioner so that you can also get the best results at the most. 

When you are looking for a therapist that can address your needs, bear in mind that you are looking for the person with the right amount of training and the right amount of experience and exposure to the therapy. This is critical because there are a number of pseudo-therapists out there that says they are competent, but if you check their credentials then you will learn that they only attended a crash course in reflexology. In order to get the best person to do the job for you, strongly consider some of the recommendations as listed below. These suggestions worked its wonders for many, and for sure these will do its part as well to you.

• It's all about networking with friends and health care providers. Ask around to find the best and able referrals. You may find that some of your friends have already asked for the services of a therapist, and they can lead you to someone who really knows what he is doing.

• It's best to check out professional organizations and associations. It is likely that the reflexology therapists in your region belong to a certain organization. Check out their websites in order to learn more about them. If you are not comfortable with the local organizations, then it's best to check out international groups too.

• When you have shortlisted your choices and candidates, consider asking their backgrounds and trainings. Do they have the right certifications that can validate that they have the right trainings? How many hours did their trainings last? Most nationally accredited training programs require their students to spend at least 110 hours. Anything below than that is questionable, and you could say that the knowledge of the person is still insufficient. The key here is to look for the person who is nationally certified to perform the therapy. At least with the nationally certified therapist, you can be sure that you are getting your money's worth.

• Consider the kind of therapy and massage that they offer. What is their style in conducting the therapy sessions? Does he use firm pressure to get the desired results?

And finally after asking all these questions, the last logical thing to ask is the cost of the services and the mode of payment. It is best to ask around in order to get the standing market prices for reflexology services. You should consider this so that you will not be left asking why at the end of the therapy sessions.
