Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy which promotes well-being, balance and harmony throughout the body. Areas on the feet (and hands) correspond to different parts of the body, so by treating these areas, the whole body benefits. Treatment aims to enable the body to be in the best condition for natural healing to take place.

History

From ancient texts we know that the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Russians and Egyptians worked on the feet to promote good health.
