Reflexology
is an ancient technique that consists of manual compression of reflex points on
the feet or hands which correspond to specific parts of the body. It is a nurturing, gentle method of stimulating your body's self healing reflexes. The entire
body is mapped on the feet and hands. By applying gentle pressure on the reflex
points, specific areas are stimulated to promote healing and relaxation.
It
is thought that illness occurs when 'energy channels' in the body are blocked. Reflexology techniques are aimed at clearing
these blocks, allowing energy to flow freely again allowing circulation,
elimination of toxins and stimulate healing energy to affected areas.
