Based on an ancient Chinese therapy, reflexology involves manipulation of
specific reflex areas in the foot, hands, and ears that correspond to other parts
of the body.
Sometimes referred to as zone therapy, this bodywork involves application of
pressure to these reflex zones to stimulate body organs and relieve areas of
congestion.

Similar to acupressure principles, reflexology works with the body energy flow
to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. This
technique is used to reduce pain, increase relaxation, and stimulate circulation
of blood and lymphatic fluids.

It is especially useful in stress-related illness and emotional disorders.
Reflexology is also convenient in cases where an area of the body is
traumatized or diseased to the extent that direct manipulation is not appropriate

Foot and Hand Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and
reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all body parts. Applying
specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques, reduce stress
causing a physiological change in the body.   

Reflexology applies pressure to a range of particular points on your hands and
feet that correspond with all the organs, glands, tissues and muscles in your
body.

Reflexology applies this response to the whole body. By applying pressure to
points on your feet and hands, you can treat and heal problems elsewhere in the
body.

Reflexology is based on similar principles to acupuncture and some types of
massage - that our bodies are mapped by channels of energy, or "qi"
(pronounced "chee'); we feel pain, or generally unwell, when the flow of that
energy is blocked in some way. By putting pressure on one part of these
channels, the reflexologist sends an impulse or message all the way along it,
which unblocks it and encourages the energy to flow freely again.

This in turn brings us back into good health and a sense of balance and
well-being, and stimulates our body's own healing responses.

It is such a comprehensive treatment, reflexology can help you in many other
ways, with anything from a trapped nerve to depression.
