  • Reflexology started to be used by both the Chinese and ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago.

     

  • It is based on the belief that certain points on the feet or hands are connected to specific organs, glands and body parts through energy channels.

 

  • It’s a method of diagnosing problems and treating them through massaging certain parts of the body, especially the feet and hands.

 

  • In reflexology, pain or stress felt in one part of your body can be relieved by putting pressure on a connected body part.

 

  • By putting pressure on points of your feet the reflexologist can diagnose health problems in other parts of your body and also treat them.

 

  • An average reflexology session will last about an hour and although you might feel some discomfort, in general the session should be relaxing.

 

  • Reflexology is used to treat stress, migraines, back problems, breathing problems, digestive problems and circulation problems as well as others.
