Why Does Foot Reflexology Hurt? Unlocking the Secrets Behind This Ancient Healing Practice
Foot reflexology can cause pain due to various reasons, such as:
* Stimulation of nerve endings
* Release of stored energy and physical tensions
* Sensation overload from pressure applied too deeply or focusing on specific areas for extended periods
To mitigate discomfort, it's essential to communicate with the practitioner about sensitivity levels, relax before treatment, and familiarize yourself with what feels good. Additionally, staying hydrated and eating lightly can also contribute to a more comfortable experience.
Reflexology benefits extend beyond pain relief, including improved circulation, stress reduction, and faster wound healing due to enhanced blood flow and reduced recovery time.
