Reflexology is a form of massage in which pressure is applied to certain parts of the feet, hands and ear with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion in order to promote relaxation and stimulate the body’s own healing processes.

Each part of the body is interconnected through the nervous system to the hands, feet and ear. Stimulating specific reflex points can bring relieve to poorly functioning areas of the body. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet, hands and ear. Treatment to these parts of the body can affect the other parts of the body within the same zone.
