For those who are unfamiliar with reflexology, it is defined as a scientific art based on the premise that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all the body parts. The physical act of applying specific pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques result in stress reduction which causes a physiological change in the body.Through this skillful application of alternating pressure to reflex areas of the feet, a reflexologist silently communicates with your body.Practiced for centuries, reflexology is much more than a good foot massage. Reflexology promotes physical changes that bring about balance, healing, and stress reduction.
