At Bodhi Wellness Canmore, we believe wellness starts from the ground up, literally. Reflexology, an ancient healing art focused on the feet, hands, and ears, is more than just a relaxing treatment. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to support your body’s natural healing processes and restore balance from head to toe.
Whether you're new to reflexology or looking to deepen your wellness practice, here's everything you need to know before booking your first reflexology session at Bodhi Wellness.
What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the idea that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems in the body. These reflex points act like a map of the entire body, and when stimulated, they send signals through the nervous system to help bring those areas into balance.
By applying gentle, focused pressure to these points, reflexology helps release tension, improve circulation, support lymphatic flow, and encourage your body to restore its natural state of harmony. Many clients report feeling deeply relaxed, more grounded, and even energized after a session. It’s a calming, non-invasive way to support your overall well-being, physically, emotionally, and energetically.
At Bodhi Canmore, reflexology is offered as a stand-alone treatment or as an add-on to enhance your wellness experience. It pairs beautifully with massage, cupping, or even a soak in the hot tub to support recovery, reduce inflammation, and give your nervous system the reset it deserves.
What to Expect in a Reflexology Session
When you arrive at Bodhi Canmore, you’ll step into a calm, welcoming space designed to help you unwind. Guests are encouraged to enjoy our amenities before and after their treatment, including the eucalyptus steam room, outdoor hot tubs, fireside lounge, and a selection of herbal teas and lemon water. It’s all part of creating a slower, more intentional pace, so you can fully relax, restore, and make the most of your time with us.
During your reflexology session, you’ll lie comfortably while specific pressure points on your feet, hands, or ears are gently massaged. These points correspond to different organs and systems in the body, helping to release tension, improve circulation, and support your body’s natural healing processes.
The treatment is gentle, grounding, and deeply calming. Many clients find themselves slipping into a meditative state or even falling asleep as the body begins to relax. Some feel immediate relief from stress, discomfort, or fatigue, while others notice subtle shifts that build with each session.
Reflexology at Bodhi Wellness Canmore offers more than just physical relief. It’s a restorative experience that helps reset your energy, calm your nervous system, and reconnect you with your natural rhythm. Book your session today and give your body the space it needs to heal and recharge.
Who Is Reflexology For?
Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that offers support for both the body and mind. It’s suitable for most people and can be especially helpful during times of stress, imbalance, or recovery.
You may benefit from reflexology if you:
Are physically active and need to recover after hiking, climbing, or exploring the mountains around Canmore.
Spend long hours at a desk or screen and are feeling mentally drained or burnt out.
Live with chronic pain, tension, migraines, or jaw tightness.
Struggle with digestion, hormonal imbalances, or menstrual discomfort.
Have trouble sleeping or often feel low on energy and unable to fully recharge.
Are carrying emotional stress, trauma, or grief and want a gentle way to support release.
Feel disconnected from your body, or are interested in internal balance, nervous system regulation, and chakra support.
Reflexology can meet you wherever you are, offering a calming reset for the whole system. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit, we welcome you to reach out to our Bodhi Canmore spa reception team at. We’re here to help you feel safe, supported, and more connected to your own healing process.
Surprising Benefits of Reflexology
While reflexology is often seen as a deeply relaxing treatment, its effects can go far beyond stress relief. Many clients are surprised to notice positive changes in both their physical health and emotional well-being after just a few sessions.
Some of the lesser-known benefits of reflexology include:
Improved digestion and overall gut health
Hormonal balance and menstrual cycle support
Increased mental clarity and sharper focus
Strengthened immune function
Reduced anxiety, irritability, and mood swings
At Bodhi Wellness Canmore, we’ve seen how powerful reflexology can be when it becomes part of a regular self-care routine. It works beautifully on its own or alongside other treatments like massage, myofascial cupping, or time spent in our steam room and hot tub.
