What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a complimentary, holistic therapy with origins dating back over 3000 years to ancient Egypt, China, and India. Today Reflexology combines ancient and modern techniques. Using their hands, the Reflexologist applies pressure on your feet, hands, or ears, focusing on precise reflex points that correspond to every organ, gland, and anatomical system in your body. The reflexology charts (below) outline how the reflex points are mapped on the feet and hands. The goal of reflexology is to stimulate normalizing physiological changes in your body in a focused, efficient, and non-invasive way. Reflexology is safe and appropriate for all ages, from infants to seniors.

There are many theories of exactly how Reflexology works, but it is known to assist in normalizing the body through increasing circulation and impacting the nervous system, with over 7000 nerve endings located in each foot.
In contrast to a basic foot massage or full body massage, Reflexology is a precise pressure technique used to access specific points on the foot, hand, or ears, which represent a detailed microcosm of your entire body.
