What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is holistic, non-invasive bodywork based in the theory that there are zones and reflex areas on the feet, hands and ears that connect with all parts of the body. Rhythmic pressure applied with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques to the feet, hands and ears causes deep relaxation, which in turn helps reduce stress and causes physiological changes in the body. Reflexology promotes balance in the body naturally.
