What is Reflexology

Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet and hands to effect corresponding parts of the body.  Reflexologists view the feet and hands as a mirror image of the body. By applying a technique, a reflexologist can break patterns of stress and tension, improve blood supply and promote the unblocking of nerve impulses and help nature achieve homeostasis.

Why work on the feet?

The feet are a mirror of the organs and parts of the body.  Even the inside of the foot corresponds to the natural curves of the spine.  The waistline tightens in as it should. 
The feet are the farthest from the heart and where circulation tends to stagnate.  It is good to stimulate and encourage blood flow to and back to the heart from these extremities.  Gravity pulls toxins downwards.  Waste matter such as uric acid and calcium crystals can build up in the bottom of the feet.  An experienced reflexologist can feel the deposits with their hands and break these crystals up with reflexology

Reflexology is not like massage because:

Massage involves tissue and muscle therapy to promote relaxation. Acupuncture, Acupressure and Shiatsu are similar in some respects to reflexology in their use of reflexes or meridians of the body as they relate to the gland, organs and parts of the body.

Disclaimer

Reflexology is a unique modality in the health field.  It’s purpose in not to diagnose for any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well being in the same way as an exercise or diet program.  Its practice should not be compared to massage or any other kind of manipulative procedure.
