About Reflexology

Reflexology is the ancient art and science of using pressure points on the feet and hands to heal and revitalize the entire body.  Reflexology helps to adjust the body's energy flow in order to keep the organs and glands in a constant state of balance.  This focused form of acupressure and relaxation techniques aids circulation, body detoxification, immune, muscular and nerve function. While acting as a powerful therapeutic technique, reflexology also helps to calm the emotions and assist the body to release tension. 

The reflexes in the feet are actually “reflections “of body parts.  Their locations and relationships to each other on the feet follow a logical anatomical pattern which closely resembles the body itself.  The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques result in stress reduction which causes physiological changes in the body.

Brief History of Reflexology

Its origins date back to ancient Egypt, India and China. Reflexology as it is practiced today is based primarily on the system developed by osteopathic physician Dr. William Fitzgerald and further refined by Dr. Joe Riley and Eunice Ingham.
