Reflexology Massage

What is Reflexology Massage?

Reflexology is a gentle form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and sometimes to the hands. Reflexology is considered to be a holistic healing technique that aims to treat the individual as a whole, in order to induce a state of balance and harmony in body, mind and spirit. Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex areas on the feet (and hands) corresponding to all parts of the body including major organs. It is believed that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, hands and ears can affect internal organs and body systems, therefore promoting overall good health and a feeling of well-being. The therapist stimulates the organs and systems through points and areas on the feet and hands by applying pressure with thumb and fingers. Pressure is applied to release and clear congested points in order to restore normal function and health.
