Reflexology is the study of reflexes. This natural therapy works on the principle that there are reflex points on the feet, hands, face and ears that mirror the whole body.
When we apply gentle pressure with the fingers on these reflex points, we stimulate a reaction in the corresponding parts, glands and organs of the body.
Reflexology is a non-invasive modality that can realign the body back into balance and harmony, where all systems function at optimum levels. By receiving regular treatments, the body starts to self-heal, the endocrine system starts to function normally, stress levels drop, and the body can achieve homeostasis.
