Reflexology is a focused pressure technique, usually directed at the feet or hands. It is based on the premise that there are zones and reflexes on our hands and feet that correspond to all organs, glands and parts of the body.
When the reflexes are stimulated, (there are over 7,000 nerve ending in each foot) the body's natural electrical energy works along the nervous system to clear any blockages in the corresponding zones. A reflexology session seems to break up deposits which may interfere with the body's electrical energy in the nervous system.
Manipulating specific reflexes removes stress, activating a parasympathetic response in the body to enable the blockages to be released by a physiological change in the body. With stress removed and circulation enhanced, the body is allowed to return to a state of Homeostasis or "balance".
When the body is balanced it is stronger to heal itself and fight off illness and disease.
