reflexology

what is reflexology?

Reflexology is a manual therapy utilizing properly applied pressure in a specific manner and sequence to directly or indirectly affect the physical and emotional body. Reflexology utilizes the concept that there exists a mini-map of the body on the feet, hands and ears. Through stimulation of reflexes or specific points on these extremities, energy blockages can be relieved in the extremity affecting the corresponding organs, glands and structures of the body.
