Understanding Reflexology

Modern  day reflexology is less than 100 years old, but promoting healing using reflex points in the feet and hands has been practiced by many cultures over the centuries, even as far back as the ancient Egyptians. Reflexology has always been holistic in nature by treating an individual as more than a set of symptoms and viewing wellbeing as much more than simply  the absence of illness.

Reflexology is a holistic science using the feet and hands as a map of the body. It adheres to the principle that there are reflex areas located in the feet and hands matching the body's own systems such as nerves, glands, and circulation. Using alternating pressure on these reflex areas stimulates the movement of energy throughout the body. Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy with the goal of returning the body to a state of balance. Clients often report a profound sense of relaxation and well being after receiving a reflexology session.
