Reflexology involves a method of treatment using massage to reflex areas found in the feet and the hands. Most commonly, the feet are used as the areas to be treated.
In the feet, there are reflex areas that are thought to correspond to all the parts of the body and these areas are arranged in such a way as to form a map of all the bodies systems. The right foot corresponds to the right side of the body and the left foot corresponds to the left side of the body. |
Reflexology offers a gentle means of treating the whole body through a relaxing treatment focused on the massage of these reflexology points. This latter point is an important factor of a natural therapy and allows not only symptoms to be treated but also the underlying causes of symptoms, especially if there is underlying stress.
Reflexology is used by many people to help address a wide range of disorders including skin and respiratory conditions, migraine, PMS and menopausal problems, chronic fatigue, stress, depression and anxiety. |
