Reflexology
Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet and hands. Pressure applied to the feet/hands generates a signal through the nervous system.
The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are "reflex" areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body.
Reflexology is viewed as a mirror image of the body. By applying specific techniques the therapist can break up patterns of the stress in other parts of the body relating to that area of the foot or hand. Benefits include reduced stress. The feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of our body. They are an easy way to interrupt these stress signals and create change in the body. Reflexology is a clothed session with only the removal of shoes and socks.
