Reflexology involves the application of gentle pressure to reflex points located on all parts of the feet. These points relate to the internal organs, glands, and structures of the body. The feet reflect, and are a mirror of, the body. Pressure on reflex points can therefore affect and normalize the functioning of the body. The body’s natural ability to heal itself is stimulated and health is restored. Everyone can enjoy the benefits that reflexology offers.
