A study of workplaces that had on-site reflexologists in Denmark evidenced a big reduction in sick leave and increased job satisfaction. 

An employee said:” Our work is done through computers and people spending many hours in a chair doing their work, resulting in aching shoulders and back. Since we employed our reflexologist, we have experienced a substantial decrease of people being ill and away from work. It has had a physical and psychological effect. There is a much better atmosphere in the department, because the employees feel there is something being done about their problems. Before staff used to stay at home, now we see them go to work anyway because they know they can get a treatment and feel better.” (Brendstrup, Eva and Launs¯, Laila, “Headache and Reflexological Treatment,” The Council Concerning Alternative Treatment, The National Board of Health, Denmark, 1997) 

Worcester Hospital Study 28 members of staff at Worcester Hospitals received 40 mins of reflexology each week for 6 weeks. Their response to the reflexology was measured in terms of: pain, mobility, lethargy, psychological stress. The key results were: 74% had a significant reduction in pain 62.5% had a significant improvement in mobility 55% had a significant improvement in psychological stress 53% had a significant reduction in lethargy the study concluded that it was a cost-effective treatment for companies concerned about absenteeism and sick leave.
