What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a complementary therapy. It involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears. These are called reflex points. The reflex points correspond to different organs, systems, or parts of the body.
Reflexology Therapists aim to promote relaxation through stimulation of reflex points. They release stress and tension in the body and mind. They also improve circulation. These actions support the body’s natural healing processes.
The practice of Reflexology is rooted in the theory that energy flows through the body along specific pathways or zones. Health issues can arise when these pathways become blocked or imbalanced.
Through regular Reflexology treatments, practitioners restore balance and harmony by applying pressure to the reflex points. This releases any blockages and promotes the free flow of energy. Most often, clients feel a deep sense of peace and tranquility during a treatment. An inner calm connection because of the regulation of the nervous system.
