Reflexology originally known as reflex zone therapy, Relexology is a Holistic Healing method which involves pressure and massage of the Reflex points found on the feet and hands. The dictionary defines the word relfex as an involuntary muscle contraction due to an external stimulus in the context of reflexology, however, reflex is used in the sense of reflection or mirror image.

These reflexes are found on the soles of the feet, or the palm of the hands, which act as small mirrors reflecting the whole organism.

Reflexology teaches that a vital energy or life force circulates between the organs of the body permeating every living cell and tissue.

If this energy becomes blocked, the part of the body relating to the blockage is affected.

Energy blocks in the human body are reflected on the hands and the feet in one or more of the zones located there.

By using specific pressure techniques, they can be detected through the experience of pain, or through presence of gritty areas, often referred to as crystal

deposits. These occur in t he part of the foot or hand that relates to the part of the body that is imbalanced.

Apart from treating disease, reflexology is an extremely effect therapy in case of stress, tension and tiredness.

And like Acupunture, it can also be used as a preventive measure against ill health.

Reflexology is about giving and receiving.

Energy is transmitted to the patient through the hands of the therapist and information is received from the patient's feet.
