Reflexology is a simple science that is a safe and highly effective way of treating the body without the use of drugs or surgery. In fact, the only ‘instruments’ needed are a pair of hands.
Reflexology is the application of gentle pressure by the fingers and thumbs to certain specific points in the feet called reflexes. These specific points are mapped out in accordance with the anatomy of the body.
The pressure applied during a Reflexology treatment creates a stimulation of electrical energy flowing through the nerve pathways from the feet to the brain. The brain then sends these impulses to specific areas and thus encourages the body’s own natural healing potential.
