Reflexology is a holistic pressure point therapy. It is based on the theory that by applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, face and/or ears, energy is stimulated along the nerve channels and therefore helps to restore balance in the whole body.
The first evidence of hand and foot pressure therapy is believed to have been found in ancient Egypt as well as in China.
Reflexology has many objectives, including:
- Encouraging the body to heal itself by creating balance
- Relieving stress and tension
- Supporting the immune system
- Helping the body to eliminate toxins
- Assisting better sleep
- Increased sense of well-being
