Reflexology is an ancient therapy based on the principle that all organs, glands and parts of the body are mirrored on the feet. By working on these reflex points, using gentle pressure and massage, harmony and balance can be restored to the body.For example, the big toe represents the head. A reflexologist can stimulate the internal organs, glands and bones of the body and bring them into a natural state of balance by massaging these reflex points on the feet. |
