Reflexology

Reflexology is an alternative healing treatment that involves applying pressure as well as the use of massage (or so called effleurage techniques) in a certain way to all parts of the hands and/ or feet. In the hands/ feet there are reflex areas, which relate to all organs and systems within the body and these reflex areas are found on the soles, sides and tops of the feet and similarly in all areas in the hand.

The hands and feet represent a map that corresponds to the whole body. By working the hands and 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. Sometimes the ears can also be used in reflexology and again similar reflex areas exist corresponding to the whole body.
