What is Reflexology?

The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known to man for thousands of years, with the first practitioners hailing from early India, China and Egypt.

Reflexology is a non-invasive healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears. These reflexes correspond to every part, organ and gland in the body. Stimulating the reflexes promotes healing, improves circulation and achieves balance in the body.

One scientific explanation is that compressing the skin and tissue just below the skin stimulates sensory receptors. This stimulus sends a message along the afferent (conducting inward) fibres of the peripheral (outer) nervous system to the spinal cord. This stimulation then disperses through the central and automatic nervous system, producing various effects in any area or zone connected via the spinal cord.
