Where to get Reflexology archived
May 9, 2014 at 11:27am Edited
I think there is a place in the Livingston Mall. Asian massage type place. I see a reflexology poster in their window.
MelissaH, we offer Reflexology at Shakti Yoga located in Maplewood:
Reflexology
Based on theories of energy zones that run through the body, this work involves applying alternate thumb and finger pressure to reflexes on handsand/or feet, affecting corresponding areas in the body. This results in deep relaxation, energy release and stress reduction, helping the body return to homeostasis. Refelexology can also be applied to the face and ears. Face, ear and neck are a wonderful combination. A 90 minute combo could include feet and hands, or face, ear and hands, etc. Sessions are given fully clothed, except shoes and socks, on a massage table.
Rates: 30 minutes $45 ~ 60 minutes $80 ~ 90 minutes $120 (add 7% sales tax)
Harmony Series: 3/30 minute sessions $120 ~ 3/60 minute sessions $225 ~ 3/90 minute sessions $345
To Schedule: contact Debra Bernath

Sounds crazy but fitflops (ugly as they are) TREMENDOUSLY relieved my plantar fasciitis in one summer. I haven't had an issue since.
Thanks Shakti I actually just booked a reflexology session with you after reading your other thread!
@eliz,
I have a pair of fit flops (they are getting a little better looking) that I'm wearing. I switch between them and my sneakers and while it helps I still have pain and lots of it. I started a walk to run exercise routine two weeks ago that I don't want to give up. It didn't help that I had to stand all week, as I cannot sit down while students are testing. I have to keep walking the room. I think that made it worse.

One or two large marbles on a hard, flat surface. Lay off the cipro.
Time/patience.
There's a place called foot spa & tea bar in Verona.
I don't know anyone who's been there but it sounds intriguing

Near my parents on LI, a whole bunch of foot spas have been opening. I went to one a few months ago and it was great. 60 minute treatment for $22! I wonder if the one in Verona is similar? Maybe we'll see them popping up here soon.

Great! We look forward to seeing you!
I have plantar fasciatis and I can't wear flip flops at all -- just driving in the car home from a pedicure gives me horrible pain.
I've tried many places around here for reflexology (not Shakti Yoga -- yet, I just found out about it!) and I find they all think reflexology is a good foot massage -- at least that was what I got from them. So disappointing I wanted to ask for my money back.

Enjoy! She's incredible.
There's a big difference between a foot massage and reflexology, it's like the difference between a back rub and a deep tissue massage.

Yes, true reflexology works like acupuncture -- the practitioner manipulates the energy meridians in the foot and ankle. It feels good, but it's also therapeutic for the total "you".
I had an argument with the manager of a place in this area that advertises that they do reflexology. I went through 4 different "practitioners" and I could tell they didn't know what they were doing. After the sessions I asked "are you a reflexologist?" and they all said no. When I confronted the manager of the place she literally said to me "most people don't know the difference!" I couldn't believe it.
Where? I love reflexology (not that I've had it often) and went with someone in fort lee, it was just like you describe. A nice foot massage but not reflexology. I'd love to hear how you like Shakti.
@gibberellin, I just googled it and apparently Cipro can cause it although that is not my problem because I haven't taken that in about 10 years.

Oh, I used to go to Ft. Lee when I lived up there -- to one of the Japanese places (on the corner of Main Street and now I don't remember the name of the street -- one block east of Palisade Avenue). They were good! I found a place in Manhattan on East 55th Street and the woman there does it right, too (but it's too long an appointment to do at lunch time). I'll report back.
I actually meant where you got it where it wasn't really reflexology, if it was local I would want to avoid,there!

I found some good physical therapy stretching exercises for planters on YouTube that helped, along with an electric massager. In fact, whenever I have aches and pains, I can usually take care of them within a few days with that approach.
Debra at Shakti was absolutely fabulous today. My foot is already feeling better. Yesterday I could barely walk because my plantar fasciitis was affecting my achilles tendon too. After working with Debra today I feel so much better and learned a lot about myself and other ailments and how they are all about the same issue. I will see her again on Thursday and again the following week for my plantar fasciitis. She thought I would only need 1/2 hour sessions but I'm going for another full hour on Thursday as it's my birthday and we're going to focus on other parts of my body.
I highly recommend her!
@ShaktiYoga, thank you so much!

We're so glad to hear that! Glad to hear you are feeling better. We knew you would love Debra. Next time, ask her about her QMT sessions. Be warned- they are addicting.
Is there a way to look up or locate certified reflexologists like Debra in other areas? My mother has been suffering from intractable plantar fasciitis for a number of years and it's really wrecked her life. She doesn't go out much anymore and is dependent on my father and brothers to drive her around when she used to walk almost everywhere. She's had multiple surgeries and procedures, none of which have helped. I really want her to try reflexology but don't want her to get duped like others have into going to someone who represents themself as a reflexologist but really just gives foot massage.

I was there yesterday, too, with Debra (I must have just missed you!). Yes, she is the real thing and I look forward to my next appointment.
@bluepool, Debra works out of Jersey City as well. I don't know if that help you or not but I thought I'd mention it.
When we lived in the West Village we used to go to Angel Feet every so often. it's a gorgeous, calming little space (they can only take 2 clients at a time!) and exceptional reflexology. Not cheap, though. http://angelfeet.com/
