What Normally Happens At The End Of Each Reflexology Sessions?

A reflexology session is more like a massage session- the difference is that the target of the therapist is primarily the feet and the hands. And the main intent for every session is to relax the person, and at the same time re-establish the normal flow of the energy and the balance within the person. And what the therapist normally does in order to make that happen is to wash the feet and the hands first, and to apply firm pressure on the 'zones' on the feet and those hands. Now this is the most common thinking about a reflexology session. But for many, they are still clueless as to what happens at the end of the session. 

Will there be a complete cessation of the pain? Will the reported illnesses and diseases be automatically wiped out? Well not exactly; if you are one of those wondering what happens at the end of each session then the best thing to do is to check out the things listed below.

What happens at the end of your session?

All of these practitioners of reflexology are trained to end the session in a calming way. They are trained to calmly end the therapy session, and they can do that by the simple and the careful stroking of the hand or the foot of the person. The main object here of the therapist is to allow the person to feel that he is being cared for and he is being valued. This will always have a say and an impact on the overall realization of the therapy objectives. 

On the part of the patient, it is best that once the therapy is over the objective is to not end the meeting on a hurry. 

What the person can do is to slowly get back into the moment and re-orient himself. And as the person starts to come back to the present situation, the therapist can do his part by offering the person something to drink. Now it is important for the patient to check out and monitor what happens to his body hours after the reflexology session. If there are some concerns that are being felt hours after the session, then it is the duty of the patient to send feedback to the therapist.

Minutes or even hours after the session has ended, the person should also be aware of the many reactions and signs in the body that can be felt. Here are some of these reactions that are associated to treatment:

• The person may feel enhanced energy after the session, or the person may feel that strong desire to sleep.

• There will be times that the patients may cite tiredness and some would even report flu-like symptoms.

Now these are common reactions after the reflexology session and these should not come as a surprise. Expect that these reactions may lasts from 24 to 48 hours.
