Does anyone know where i get some reflexology in S6? And also, is it safe when you're pregnant??

Why would you want to? Reflexology is based on an absurd theory which has not been demonstrated to influence the course of any illness or medical condition. If performed gently, reflexology is nothing more than a form of foot/hand massage that may help some people to temporarily relax.

If you do insist on wasting your money then I can't see any reason why having your hands and feet rubbed would in any way cause harm to your pregnancy.

...treatment options for sciatica include addressing the underlying cause, medications to relieve pain and inflammation and relax muscles, and physical therapy. A variety of low back conditioning and stretching exercises are employed to help people recover from sciatica. Surgery procedures can sometimes be required for persisting sciatica that is caused by nerve compression at the lower spine.
