Reflexology - Hands vs. Feet

Reflexology treatments can be performed on both the hands and feet. My preference is to work on the feet because I have found this technique to be most effective. I would switch to hands if...

• There is an infectious skin disorder on the feet (like athletes foot or warts)
• The feet hurt too much to be worked on (maybe the foot is injured or has an ulcer)
• In the case of an amputated foot
• If a short treatment is required and a full foot treatment is just not possible
• If someone is not comfortable with their feet being touched, they’re embarrassed or have foot odour

Both sides of the body are addressed by working on both hands/feet or a combination.
