Therapeutic Reflexology

Reflexology is a therapy based on the principle that there are small and specific areas in the hands and feet that correspond to specific muscle groups or organs of the body. In this system, the nerve endings in the extremities provide a "map" of the rest of the body.

Through the application of pressure on particular areas of the face, feet or hands, reflexology can improve circulation, release tension and stress, as well as support normalized function in the related area of the body.

Reflexology works by first increasing circulation to the corresponding organ or area of the body, enhancing nerve connections and modulation of the autonomic nervous system. It also stimulates the release of endorphins, natural feel-good brain chemicals that reduce pain and diminish the negative effects of stress.
