Reflexology sessionWhat is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears. The theory behind reflexology is that these reflex points correspond to different organs and systems of the body, and that stimulating these points can help to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and improve overall health and well-being.

What is the science behind Reflexology? 

Whilst reflexology is a pseudo-science and cannot be verified with Western scientific proof of its efficacy, it will most definitely provide a soothing, stress-relieving treatment that may help you feel calmer, more grounded and relaxed. 

How is Reflexology performed?

The feet are mapped in miniature with all of the organs, glands, and parts of the body. To balance the body, pressure is applied to points on the feet and hands that correspond to every organ in the body. By pressing these “reflex points” a stimulation or sedation is implemented in the nerve pathways, linking the points to the corresponding organs and returning the body to a state of equilibrium.
