Is Reflexology Worth Trying?
If you’ve been searching for a natural way to relax, reduce stress and support your overall wellbeing, reflexology may be worth considering. As a new service at Excel Physiotherapy in Upminster, reflexology offers a gentle, holistic treatment that complements traditional healthcare and physiotherapy.
Whether you’re struggling with stress, poor sleep or simply looking to invest in your wellbeing, reflexology could help you feel calmer, more balanced and more energised.
What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, hands or face. These points are believed to correspond with different organs and systems throughout the body.
Unlike a standard foot massage, reflexology follows mapped pressure points using specialised thumb and finger techniques designed to encourage relaxation and restore balance.
How Does Reflexology Work?
The feet contain thousands of nerve endings. Gentle stimulation of these areas sends calming signals to the brain and nervous system.
This encourages the body to move from its stress response into a more relaxed state, often referred to as the “rest and digest” response.
Many people leave their appointment feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed.
What Can Reflexology Help With?
People choose reflexology for many different reasons, including:
- Stress and anxiety

Some people also use reflexology alongside treatment for chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and migraines.
