what is reflexology?

reflexology, like meridian therapies, is a complimentary therapy that applies the principle that the body is divided into channels (meridians) through which energy (chi) flows.

reflexology applies specific pressure to the feet or hands where all of the internal body structures and organs are mapped in miniature. when a therapist treats a reflex point, the main aim is to enhance the energy flow, encouraging the body to work more effectively, and with greater balance between all of the body’s systems.

reflexology has been used for thousands of years in Africa, China, South East Asia and Europe.
