The whole treatment will last for 60 minutes. You will be asked to remove socks and shoes only and lie down comfortably upon the couch. A small amount of oil or cream will be applied to the feet. A gentle massage pressure will be applied to stimulate energy pathways in the body. Reflex points will be activated on the feet that correspond with one side of the body, and continue to the other foot that corresponds to the other side, until the whole body has been treated.
