Reflexology is a complementary therapy that works on the feet or hands enabling the body to heal itself. It is based on the idea that the soles of the feet are a reflection of the entire body, and that there are points in the feet that correspond to the organs and parts of the body. Reflex therapy can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing by causing a relaxation response in the corresponding body part.
A reflexologist uses hands only to apply pressure to the feet and/or hands. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy are unique. Reflexology is suitable for acute and chronic conditions, stress-related conditions, and as preventative therapy. It is extremely relaxing and causes a great sense of well-being in the entire body.
