Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to specific points on the feet and hands to influence the health of corresponding parts of the body. Pressure sensors on the hands and feet connect with different parts of the body. As reflexology techniques stimulate these sensors, waves of relaxation are sent throughout the body.
Reflexology is a holistic treatment which treats the whole person mind, body and spirit. The aim is to induce a state of balance and harmony by stimulating the bodys own potential to heal both physically and emotionally. This non-invasive therapy is performed on the feet using special manipulations with varying degrees of pressure. The pressure for stimulating movement of energy along the pathways is applied using specific fingers and thumb massage techniques. It is based on the principal that there are reflex zones in the feet which are linked by energy pathways to corresponding parts of the body and, when pressure is applied, it stimulates the movement of energy along these pathways.
