Reflexology: Reflexology involves the massage of certain points on the feet and, less often, the hands. Reflexologists believe that these points correspond to zones in the body and that massaging these points can relieve stress and prevent or treat disease. Reflexology is a holistic therapy that aims to restore and maintain the body’s natural balance and encourage healing.
Evidence shows that early African tribes, the American Indians, early Egyptians and the ancient Chinese knew all about the benefits of foot massage and reflexology.
Some reflexologists also believe that the health of a person can be assessed by feeling the points to detect imbalances or blockages in the flow of energy in the body. Reflexologists use their hands and particularly their thumbs to give the treatment. A therapeutic spa reflexology treatment will benefit the whole body.
Gentle massage is used initially, followed by deep pressure. On the whole, the feelings experienced during a reflexology session should be relaxing and pleasant.
