What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a tactile therapy encompassing some of the basic healing principles of Chinese Medicine and based on the concept that areas in our feet and hands correspond to organs and other parts of the body. A Reflexologist applies pressure or massage with the thumbs and fingers to reflex points in the hands and feet, affecting a corresponding reflex response in the related areas of the body, including organs and glands. This helps the body to retain its natural state of balance or homeostasis.
