Reflexology, or zone therapy, is the practice of stimulating points on the feet and hands, in the belief it will have a beneficial effect on some other parts of the body, or will improve general health.

The most common form is foot reflexology. Practitioners believe the foot to be divided into a number of reflex zones corresponding to all parts of the body, and that applying pressure to tight or "gritty" areas of a person's foot will stimulate the corresponding body part and cause it to begin healing itself.

Reflexology is a powerful natural health science that studies the relationship of the reflex areas in the feet, hands and the ears to the rest of the body so that these areas can be worked on with the fingers and thumbs in a manner that will lead to improved health and the maintenance of good health."

During treatment you may experience the following;

• Feelings of relaxation, comfort, or well-being
• Nausea or discomfort due to emotional reactions
• Feel like laughing or crying
• Sighing, yawning, or fall asleep
• Temperature change either hot or cold
• A tingling sensation in the feet or through the body
• Pin-stick type feelings in the feet over congested areas

The Treatment

Your Reflexologist will apply pressure on "reflex zones" found on the feet and hands which are said to correspond to the different parts of the body. Application is done through thumb, finger and hand technique.

Reflex areas, like hand and foot, composed of 7200 nerve endings are stimulated by pressure applied. An improved instruction to every gland, single part and organ of the body could be achieved by such a health science.

The body is then believed to pursue a biologically correct, strengthened and reinforced state.

The reflex zones are organized in a way that represents the whole body.
