What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a method of stimulating the body’s healing mechanisms through massage of certain reflex points on the feet and occasionally the palms of the hands. The therapy, derived from ancient Chinese and Indian diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, is based on the idea that the organs of the body are represented on the feet, making them a vital map of the body. The foot is also ideally shaped and sized for the human hand. We can hold a foot naturally and easily.

Modern reflexology is both a science and an art. As a science, it requires careful study, faithful practice, a sound knowledge of the techniques, and skill. And yet as one of the healing arts, reflexology yields the best results when the Reflexologist works with dedication, patience, focused intention, and above all, loving care. The reflexologist is a channel of healing; no instruments or gadgets are ever used, only the hands.
