Reflexology is the art of applying specific pressure to various parts of the feet to promote deep relaxation, emotional balance and overall well-being. Each point on the foot is connected to another part of the body by a reflux or energy connection. The feet are seen as a mirror of the body. By balancing the energy flow, reflexology encourages self-healing and promotes relaxation.

Principles

Responsive zones in the feet correspond to parts of the body and by working on those zones with pressure and manipulation, function can be improved in the corresponding areas of the body.
