Reflexology is based on the concept that there are reflexes in the hands and feet that are linked to the organs of the body. Reflexology can benefit you by reducing pain, migraines & headaches, joint pain and relieving stress and anxiety. It can help to boost immune function.
Reflexology is more than just a foot massage and the practitioner will explain that there may be some discomfort during the treatment due to sensitive areas that require working on. However, the treatment starts off by softly manipulating the areas of the feet or hands followed with more firm pressure being applied.
Reflexology for relaxation from stress and anxiety
If you suffer from stress or anxiety, your practitioner will work on certain reflexes on the hands and feet (relating to the hormonal system) to encourage relaxation.
How does reflexology work?
In the words of the field’s pioneer Eunice D. Ingham: “Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the feet relative to each and every organ and all parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way”.
