Reflexology is an ancient art that is based on the theory that every part of the body is connected by energy pathways which end in reflex areas on the feet. Hand reflexology works along the same principal.
Although there is no scientific explanation as to how Reflexology works, the therapy has been found to be successful in relaxing and harmonizing the body. Tense muscles reduce their restrictive grip on blood vessels, thus enabling them to the cells and removing waste products.
It is a therapy that can be used on cancer patients at all times. It helps to restore balance to the body and can enhance the benefits of any medical treatments, while reducing the side effects. The client does not have to remove any articles of clothing, except footwear, and the therapist uses only their hands to apply gentle pressure to the feet.
Reflexology brings equilibrium to the body, and helps reduce tension and pain. Sensitive hands can detect and dispose of crystal deposits, which interfere with the flow of energy through the zones of the body.
Reflexology treats the whole person, rather than the symptom. As stress and imbalance are soothed away, homeostasis returns.
