What is Foot Reflexology?
Foot reflexology is based on the concept that the foot can be viewed as a map of the entire body. Each area of the foot corresponds to a specific organ or body part. Through targeted pressure on these reflex zones, we can send positive impulses to the corresponding organs and promote their function.
How Foot Reflexology Works
- Organ Stimulation: Promotion of organ function through reflex connections
- Circulation-promoting: Improvement of blood circulation in feet and organs
- Relaxing: Deep relaxation and stress reduction
- Self-healing Powers: Activation of the body's own healing processes

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the treatment painful?
Foot reflexology should not be painful. Pressure sensation may occur at sensitive points, but it should feel pleasant and relaxing. We adjust the pressure individually to your needs.
How long does a treatment last?
A foot reflexology treatment typically lasts 30-45 minutes. The exact duration depends on your individual treatment needs.
How often should the therapy be performed?
For optimal treatment success, we initially recommend 6-10 treatments at intervals of a few days to a week. For maintenance, regular treatments every 2-4 weeks can be beneficial.
What should I observe after treatment?
Drink plenty of water after treatment to support the elimination of metabolic products. Get rest and avoid intensive physical activities immediately afterward.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
No. Foot reflexology is a self-pay service; statutory health insurance does not cover the costs. We are happy to tell you the price before your first appointment.
