Circulation & Relaxation
Reflexology is a therapeutic approach that applies pressure to specific points on the feet and hands connected to organs and systems throughout the body. By working these reflex points, therapists encourage balance, self-regulation, and natural healing.
Unlike a full-body massage, reflexology does not focus on large muscle groups. Instead, it works through energy pathways, making it an excellent option for those who prefer a light-touch, non-invasive session.

At Therapeutic Kneads, reflexology is practiced as a precise, therapeutic technique not simply a relaxing foot massage. Our licensed therapists are trained in both anatomical mapping and energy flow, ensuring each session is tailored to your health and wellness needs.
For more than 25 years, we’ve served the Highland Park community with compassionate, outcome-based care. Whether you’re addressing fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or everyday stress, our team will personalize your session to support your body’s natural healing process.
What We Can do For You
Each Reflexology Massage is tailored to your individual needs. Our therapists customize the session by focusing on specific reflex points that correspond to areas of tension or imbalance in your body, ensuring you receive a truly personalized healing experience.
A Tradition of Healing
Reflexology dates back thousands of years, with roots in ancient Egypt, China, and India. In the early 20th century, Dr. William Fitzgerald introduced “zone therapy” to the West, mapping pressure zones on the feet and hands that correspond to specific body parts. Today, reflexology blends these traditional practices with modern therapeutic understanding, offering a safe, restorative path to balance and wellness.
