Reflexology is a natural holistic therapy based on the discovery that there are points on the hands and feet that correspond to the organs, systems and structures within the entire body. This corresponding relationship is called a “ Reflex”. Using a therapeutic touch the practitioner stimulates these points on the hands or feet. The holistic approach of reflexology focuses on treating the body as a whole as opposed to treating individual symptoms.
How does it work?
By using specific pressure massage techniques applied to nerve endings on the hands or feet, encourage the relaxation response. When the body is relaxed change may take place that is right for that person at that time, whether it be physical, mental or emotional.
