Reflexology in Wimbledon
Reflexology in Wimbledon is a calm, seated or reclined session where we work on your feet, and sometimes your hands, with careful thumb and finger pressure. You only take off your shoes and socks. Some people find it a very relaxing way to spend half an hour or an hour.
What happens during your massage
Settle in and get comfortable
You lie back or recline with your legs supported and your feet bare. Everything else stays on, so there is no changing.
Warming the feet
The session starts with slow strokes over the tops and soles of both feet to warm them and help you get used to being touched there.
Thumb walking
Small, creeping movements of the thumb travel across the sole, heel and toes. Pressure is firm but never sharp, and you can ask for lighter or deeper at any point.
Hands and a quiet finish
If you asked for it, a few minutes go to the hands. The session ends with long, soothing strokes, then you sit up slowly and put your socks back on.
What reflexology feels like
Most of the pressure comes from the thumb, moving in tiny steps rather than long sweeps. On the arch it can feel deep and satisfying. Around the heel and the base of the toes some spots feel more tender than others, which is normal, and you only need to say if it is too much.
Ticklish feet are rarely a problem. Slow, firm contact usually stops the tickle within a minute or two. Many people drift off near the end, and that is fine too. If you would rather chat, that is also fine, though most guests go quiet once the slower work on the arches begins and their breathing settles.
Reflexology or a foot massage?
A foot massage uses oil or balm and broad strokes to ease tired feet. Reflexology is more precise. It works through set areas of each foot in order, using pressure held for a moment at a time, and usually uses little or no oil.
Reflexology is based on the idea that areas on the feet are linked to other parts of the body. There is no good scientific evidence that it affects your organs or treats any illness, so we do not claim that. We offer it because some people find it relaxing and enjoy how their feet feel afterwards.
Choosing a length and what to do afterwards
Thirty minutes covers both feet at a steady pace. Forty five minutes gives time to slow down on the parts you like most. An hour leaves room for the hands as well, or simply a slower session. The price for each length is on our price guide.
Your feet may feel warm and light afterwards. Drink some water, take a minute before standing, and if you can, avoid tight shoes for the rest of the day. Wearing loose socks to your appointment makes the end of it easier.

Reflexology questions
Do I need to take my clothes off for reflexology?
No. You only remove your shoes and socks. It helps to wear trousers you can roll up a little above the ankle, but nothing else changes and you stay fully dressed throughout.
Does reflexology hurt?
It should not hurt. Some points on the feet can feel tender, especially if you stand a lot, but the pressure is adjusted to suit you. Tell us during the session if any spot feels too strong.
Can reflexology help with health conditions?
We do not say it treats or cures anything, because the evidence does not show that. Some people simply find it calming. If you have a health condition, speak to your GP and keep following their advice.
Can I have reflexology when I am pregnant?
Please tell us you are pregnant when you send your enquiry and check with your midwife or GP before booking. We can then talk through whether reflexology or a different treatment would suit you better.
