What do medical doctors typically do? Write a prescription for chemicals whose "scientific research" was funded by pharmaceutical companies who are biased to their outcome. If you need chemicals that impact your kidneys and liver and other internal organs and stay in your system for years which you can't see, then take those chemicals. If you don't think that those chemicals have longer lasting negative effects, maybe look a little deeper into your "scientific research".

I have to say I agree with most of what Spades is saying. If reflexology helps you manage pain or feel better overall (which it seems to for some), then great. But at least know that you're paying quite a lot of money for a glorified foot massage. The problem I have with it is that what they claim it does, is not backed up with science or hard evidence. Again, if it helps and you're okay with paying what they charge, I have no problems there. Why not just call it what it is though....because $$$.

I will say just 4 situations  
1-I went see a doctor couple years ago limping because a sore foot and unable to run he told me to rest. After a month later I was limping more I decided see a physiotherapist and I was running 3 days and walking fine.  
2-Listen to a doctor I was have surgery I want see few physiotherapist appointments and I 'm better and avoided surgery  
3-My daughter hurt her finger playing dodgeball in school the doctor said is only swollen, did take xray. Not getting better I went back after a week and took an xray showing the finger is broken but started to set so my daughter spent 3 months of physio to make finger move properly.  
4-Another daughter hurt her shoulder could not lift it very good the doctor took xray of the elbow (???) and put half a slab cast. The next day the clinic call say there is no crack on the bone and removed the cast. After a week later I went back took an xray of shoulder this time and the shoulder was cracked.  
I have my dad for his heart situation but the story will be took long to explain along with giving him wrong prescribtion for few years so I will not that story. I do not want keep listing here.  
Doctors allow only so many minutes of the appointment with you. They will say rest and when gets worse he offer surgery. They get paid extra for each prescription prescribe.  
I do not believe packing my body with pills if you do fine but do not call me naive
