Can Foot Reflexology Harm You? The Risks and Precautions You Need to Know
Foot reflexology, a healing technique involving pressure points on the feet, may pose risks. Bruising and swelling can occur if applied forcefully or to individuals with conditions like arthritis. Infection risk is possible if equipment or tools used are not properly sterilized. Common misconceptions include believing anyone can perform foot reflexology and that it has scientific evidence backing its benefits. To safely practice foot reflexology, find a licensed practitioner, communicate any medical concerns, and ensure equipment and tools are sanitized.
