What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a highly relaxing and non-invasive treatment, usually done on the feet. It’s based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet. It’s believed that applying pressure to the feet using specific thumb, finger and hand techniques effects a physical change in the body.

History of reflexology

Archaeological evidence points to ancient reflexology medical practices in Egypt (2330 BC) and China (2704 BC). In the West, the concept of reflexology began to emerge in the 19th century. Reflex therapies were created as medical practices but were soon eclipsed by the use of surgery and drugs.
