REFLEXOLOGY
A Grounded Approach to Wellness, From the Feet Up
Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is an complementary healthcare therapy involving application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques with or without the use of oil or lotion.
It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, practitioners can relieve stress and pain in other parts of the body through the manipulation of the feet. Reflexology applies pressure to the feet and may send signals that ‘balance’ the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce stress and pain.
Benefits of Reflexology may include
- Helps to calm the agitated mind
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Activates our immune system
