Does Reflexology have to be painful in order to work?
Absolutely not. Although there are various forms of Reflexology and some of them are extremely painful, it does not have to be painful in order to work. I believe we should work within the pain tolerance of the client. When I find a spot that is stressed, instead of digging in and causing pain, I like to work through the layers. I believe the purpose of Reflexology is to reduce stress – if I am causing pain, I would be adding stress.
