Reflexology and labor

Has anyone ever heard of using reflexology and the pressure points in and around your ankles to kick start labor? If so how effective is it and how long after doing it does it typically take?

My step mom does reflexology, she did it on me from 37 weeks onward. I ended up having to be induced 😔 my boy was stubborn

Not heard of reflexology to kick start labour as you can have it done from 12 weeks which I doubt they would allow if it could induce early labour. I had it done at 16 weeks for relaxation purposes. Acupuncture is what they can do to help kickstart labour which is recommended from 38 weeks
