Reflexology is a science and art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet (and also in hand and ears). The feet, hand and ears represent a map of the body- with all its organs and glands. There are approximately 7000 nerve ending in each foot.
By applying pressure utilizing a specialized thumb and finger techniques the nerve pathways are stimulated. This will in turn decrease tensions, promote relaxation, increase circulation and bring the body back to balance.
Reflexology is all about bringing balance, harmony and well-being to the body. Our bodies need equilibrium in order to keep working. This balanced state in the body and mind is called homeostasis.
