Some responses I have had from people when I have asked what benefits
(advantages) following treatments have included the following :
'It made me feel whole again'
'Felt like my feet were connected to my body again'
'Helped me cope better'
'Suddenly noticed other little niggly physical things had gone'
'My husband noticed the difference in me immediately' - so more appropriate
responses in relationships

The most potent one for me is when people have lapsed in regular treatments and they have said on a return visit 'I really noticed not having my reflexology.
My body has been waiting for this.' So absence of reflexology affects people as
much as the results when having it.

I also liked the answer I received from Sue Todd in Canada. She said she would add "awareness".
"It is a common complaint from my students whose family members say their feet suddenly started hurting after they started to receive reflexology. I tell my students that nine out of ten times it is simply that they have now created an awareness in that person. The feet were sore before, they just weren't aware of it."

Editor's note:This has a lot to do with subconscious pain. Most of the pain in our feet are subconscious in nature. When reflexology awakens these areas this is a common response.

Advantages of Reflexology

A question in Yahoo Answers came up about the advantages and disadvantages of three different modalities, one of which was reflexology. 

Here is my list of advantages:

Advantages

Relaxing
Effective
Can be used at any age.
You do not have to disrobe.
Cost effective
Can be perform as self help.
Helps your feet and your body.
Pays attention to a long neglected part of your body.

These are other advantages I thought after I quickly wrote  the first set.

Can be a bond between people.
Has an impact on the mind as well as the body.
Has been a lifesaver to some.
Often works even if a person doesn't believe in it.
The tools of the trade are always at your fingertips.
Can be a pure comfort at times.
Addresses problems such as stress which medicine has trouble addressing.

A study which is very interesting and can be lifelong.

It gives benefits to both the receiver and the giver.

What do you think the advantages of reflexology are?
