Reflexology
Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and/or hands with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.
It is a non-invasive complementary form of therapy that encourages the body to self-correct. This is accomplished through first doing a visual observation, then by applying an exercise pressure upon relax areas to achieve a specific, highly specialized relaxation in that area of the body. Points on the feet and hands correspond to various zones and organs throughout the body. Precise pressure on these reflex points can stimulate energy and release blockages to the specific areas of pain or illness.
