Reflexology might seem like a fancy foot massage, but it's so much more than that. It's a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body.
Reflexologists believe that these points are connected to the body's energy pathways, and by stimulating them, they can promote healing, relaxation, and overall well-being.
Reflexology is suitable for people of all ages and can be a part of a broader health and wellness plan. It primarily focuses on the body's energy flow, using gentle and client-centered approaches.
The treatment is tailored to each individual's needs and may include various pressure techniques, sometimes combined with aromatherapy or other complementary therapies.
Here's a closer look at what Reflexology can offer:

Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas on the hands and feet which correspond with all the glands, organs and parts of the body. It is a unique method of using the thumbs and fingers on these reflex areas.
Relaxation of mind and body are the main outcomes of this therapy, which in turn helps both to work to their optimum level. It helps to settle your mind and ease out your body.
