Pressure Points From Heel to Toe
For some people, a full-body massage is more than they want. At Nancy's Traditional Thai Massage, we offer reflexology in Buderim as a foot-only treatment, applying thumb and finger pressure to specific points from the heels to the toes.
The technique comes from a long tradition that maps zones of the feet to other parts of the body. We practise it as massage, not as a diagnostic tool, so we won't suggest that a tender point reveals anything about your health. Concerns about symptoms belong with your GP.
Feet can be ticklish or sore in places, and we'll check in as we go. If you'd like a light-touch treatment elsewhere, facial lymphatic drainage works on the face and neck. Call (07) 5456 4915 to book.
Reflexology at a Glance
Here's how reflexology compares with the other massages on our menu.
- One area only: The whole session stays on the feet. That makes it quite different from treatments that move across the back and limbs.
- Point-based pressure: Contact is concentrated on small areas instead of spread through long strokes. It can feel firmer than its gentle reputation suggests, so feedback helps.
- Traditional maps: Reflexology charts link foot zones to the rest of the body. They're part of the technique's history, not a way to draw health conclusions.
- Comfort settings: Some points are naturally more tender than others. Ask for gentler contact whenever you need it.
A First Reflexology Visit, Step by Step
If you've never tried reflexology, it helps to know the general order of things.
We begin by asking about your feet: any injuries, cuts, infections or areas of tenderness, and whether you've had reflexology before. Some of these details may mean postponing the session or checking with your doctor or podiatrist first. You don't need to request particular points, as the therapist will guide the session.
Once you're settled, pressure is applied to points across each foot. Sensitive spots are common, and you can ask for a lighter touch at any time.
Afterwards, you're welcome to ask about the technique or how it compares with our other therapies. We won't interpret tender points as signs of illness.
FAQs
Both involve hands-on work on the feet, but reflexology follows a traditional system of specific pressure points. A general foot massage tends to use broader strokes across the foot and lower leg.
No, reflexology charts are a traditional concept, not a diagnostic method. Symptoms should be assessed by a doctor or another qualified health practitioner.
Pressure is focused on small points, which can feel firmer than broad strokes even when applied gently. The intensity is usually adjusted for tender or sensitive areas.
