Sessions of reflexology and foot massage differ in their suggested frequency and duration of treatments. Usually lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, foot massage sessions can be done more often—even daily—without side effects. Usually, the shorter time is enough to get the desired effects of stress release and muscular relaxation. Either everyday self-care regimens or professional spa treatments might include regular foot massages. To correctly address all the reflex sites and finish the required treatment sequences, reflexology sessions—which usually take 45 to 60 minutes—usually call for more time. Reflexology sessions typically follow a more regimented schedule where practitioners suggest particular treatment intervals depending on the client's health issues and therapeutic objectives. According to research, regular sessions separated suitably to let the body react to the treatment produce best effects from reflexology.
