Reflexology in Barcelona
Treat your feet and balance your body
A reflexology treatment at our wellness center in Barcelona is a one hour treat for your feet or hands.
Our aim during your session is to achieve a balance in your body with the use of touch, massage and pressure. The benefits include relaxation, pain reduction and improvement in blood flow. You will leave feeling calm and restful.
Similar to acupuncture, reflexology promotes health by stimulating the corresponding areas and organs of the body through nerve and energetic pathways in the feet, hands and ears. When these points are stimulated, tension is eased, nerve and blood supply increased, and the bodies own healing potential is activated.
Reflexology is considered an alternative medical practice and is safe for children and people who are undergoing cancer treatment.
We do not recommend reflexology for women who are in their first trimester of pregnancy.

Reflexology vs Massage
What treatment is best for you?
When you contact Studio Australia Barcelona for a treatment we will ask you what your symptoms are, how you are feeling and what benefits or relief you would like to achieve from your treatment.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic non-invasive therapy and we would recommend this practice to you if you need to support and nourish your vital organs, increase your blood flow to aid detox and the lymphatic system, reduce stress by supporting your cardiovascular system and increasing oxygen to your cells.
It is recommended to people who are undergoing cancer treatment to ease nausea, depression, anxiety and pain.
Reflexology focuses on connecting to the overall body through reflex zones and pressure points on the feet or hands.

Foot Massage
A foot massage treatment will give you the immediate sensation of wellbeing, relaxation and stress relief similar to a Reflexology treatment but it may not necessarily promote the overall healing benefits to the body.
We recommend foot massage to people who are looking for a therapeutic treatment to release the muscles of the feet and calves, relieve postural stress and give your body physical and emotional support. A hour of time out to pamper yourself in your busy life.

Studio Australia Barcelona is a wonderful Pilates and wellness space. After developing a disc injury years ago they have helped me get fit again without hurting my back and improving it considerably. They take very special care to adapt all the routines to my particular ailments and offer additional support through their team of practitioners. I have rarely seen the level of expertise I have found at Studio Australia Barcelona. And they do it all in a beautiful and peaceful studio. No doubt my weekly Pilates class is one of my favourite times of the week!

I had a very serious accident a couple of years ago. I came to Studio Australia with my legs in full braces and on crutches, not sure if I'd walk again. Needless to say the wonderful team at Studio Australia worked tirelessly to get my strength back (both physically and mentally) through Pilates and physical therapy. I am back on my feet and walking up to 10km a day. Not only are they damn good at what they do, but they are fun, caring, and just good people.

My Reiki and Pilates sessions with Natalia where key in helping me cope and beat my breast cancer. I was new to the studio and the moment I walked in, I instinctively just knew that “they had my back” and would help me through it and they did!

It is difficult to explain in a few lines the profound and inexpressible gratitude that having Reiki has given me...Now that I have overcome cancer and the treatments, I can affirm with certainty that each Reiki session with Natalia, relieved my immense fatigue, reconnecting with me with my energy and enabled me to let go of the fear that oppressed me.

I suffer from hip injuries that caused me on going issues. Mandy was so helpful in organising instant relief through massage and then I spent time with Natalia working on a Pilates program that would strengthen my body to reduce the impact of our travels on my injuries. The team are all so lovely and professional. It was like spending time with friends than working out. Thanks Studio Australia Barcelona.
