Attending reflexology sessions often improves anxiety in patients coping with mental health conditions, cancer, and other chronic health concerns. Scientists believe the relaxing, non-invasive nature of the sessions and the caring, healing touch from the reflexologist enables patients to let go of their worries and feel a greater sense of relaxation. The amount of pressure used during the treatment can be adjusted for patient comfort, and some patients may find that light or firm touch is particularly beneficial for their mental wellbeing.
