What is Reflexology? In the feet which relate to all organs and systems within the body and these reflex areas are found on the soles, tops and sides of the feet. The feet as a whole, correspond to the whole body. By working the feet it is possible to find out which areas of the body are out of balance and treatment can be given to rebalance the body by stimulating its own healing mechanism. The hands and ears can also be used in reflexology and again similar reflex areas exist corresponding to the whole body. The Reflexologist uses their hands to apply pressure to the feet or hands. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet or hands and by working on these points this pressure can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased and circulation is improved. The gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself.
