Reflexology is a gentle and natural manual therapy based on the stimulation of reflex zones located mainly on the feet, but also on the hands, ears and face, to rebalance the body as a whole. Based on precise mapping linking each reflex zone to an organ or body function, it acts on the autonomic nervous system to activate the body's natural self-regulation and healing mechanisms. In Switzerland, qualified and ASCA/RME-certified reflexologists practise in Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, Bern, Basel, Fribourg and throughout French and German-speaking Switzerland. Foot reflexology is the most common, but hand reflexology, ear reflexology (auriculotherapy) and facial reflexology (Dien Chan) are gaining popularity. This complementary therapy is particularly effective for relieving stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, migraines, chronic pain, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances (painful periods, menopause, thyroid) and for accompanying heavy medical treatments (chemotherapy, palliative care). Sessions typically last 60 minutes in a zen and soothing atmosphere. Consultations are partially reimbursed by ASCA and RME supplementary insurance.

Reflexology is based on the principle that each area of the foot (or hand/ear) corresponds to an organ or body function. By stimulating these reflex zones with precise pressure, signals are sent to the nervous system that activate the body's natural self-regulation and healing mechanisms.
No, reflexology is generally not painful. Some sensitive or congested areas may be uncomfortable during stimulation, but never unbearable. This sensitivity is actually an indicator for the reflexologist. Pressure is always adapted to your feedback.
For a specific issue, a protocol of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 7 to 10 days apart is generally recommended for lasting results. Then monthly maintenance sessions help maintain balance. For prevention and general wellbeing, one monthly session is sufficient.
Yes, reflexology is beneficial during pregnancy, but only after the first trimester. It helps relieve nausea, lower back pain, heavy legs and prepares the body for birth. A specific protocol is applied avoiding certain reflex zones.
