Reflexology

Reflexology is a manual therapy that involves applying targeted pressure to specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears. These points are mapped to correspond with organs, glands, and systems of the body, based on the principle that the body is interconnected and can be influenced through these reflex areas.

During a reflexology session, practitioners use thumb, finger, and hand techniques to stimulate these points, aiming to release tension and encourage circulation within the corresponding areas of the body. Reflexology emphasizes rhythmic pressure rather than muscle manipulation and is typically performed without oils or lotions.

The practice is commonly associated with stress reduction, relaxation, improved circulation, and support for overall body balance. It is also frequently explored for purposes such as pain management, improved sleep quality, digestive support, and hormonal regulation.
