REFLEXOLOGY

WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears to stimulate a healing response in the corresponding organs or systems of the body. This therapy is based on the belief that these points, known as reflexes, are connected to specific parts of the body through energy pathways or meridians.

During a reflexology session, the therapist will apply pressure to these reflex points using their hands, fingers, and thumbs. The pressure may be firm or gentle, depending on the individual's sensitivity and the area being worked on. The therapist may also use different techniques, such as kneading or rotating, to stimulate the reflexes.

Reflexology is commonly used to help promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, improve circulation, and support the immune system. It may also be used to manage a variety of conditions, including headaches, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic pain.
