Reflexology: How Foot Pressure Points Can Support Overall Health
Pediatrics
Apr 8, 2025
Most of us think of a foot massage as simply relaxing, but reflexology goes far beyond that. This traditional therapy is based on the idea that specific points on the feet correspond to different organs and systems within the body. By applying targeted pressure to these points, reflexology aims to promote balance, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
At Junyu’s Acupuncture and Massage Clinic in Browns Plains, we offer reflexology as a standalone service or combined with massage or acupuncture for a more comprehensive treatment plan.
What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non‑invasive therapy that involves applying controlled pressure to reflex points, usually on the feet (and sometimes the hands or ears). In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points are thought to be connected to the body through energy channels, or meridians.
From a modern perspective, reflexology may help relax the nervous system, improve blood flow, and release tension — which can have a positive effect on overall wellbeing.
Potential Benefits of Reflexology
People choose reflexology for a variety of reasons, including:
Stress reduction – Calms the nervous system and promotes deep relaxation
Improved circulation – Helps deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body
Pain relief – May help reduce discomfort from conditions such as headaches, arthritis, or muscle tension
Support for digestion – Can help with bloating or sluggish digestion
Better sleep – Many clients report feeling more rested after a session
Reflexology at Our Clinic
At Junyu’s Acupuncture and Massage Clinic, reflexology sessions are tailored to your comfort level and health goals. We offer:
40‑minute reflexology sessions for targeted relaxation
Reflexology plus neck and shoulder massage for a combined upper and lower body treatment
These can also be paired with aroma oil or hot stone therapy for an even more restorative experience.
What to Expect in a Reflexology Session
Consultation – We discuss your health concerns, lifestyle, and any specific areas of discomfort.
Treatment – Gentle yet firm pressure is applied to reflex points on the feet, following a sequence designed to support balance in the body.
