Alternative Therapy
Reflexology
Zone therapy involving specific pressure techniques on feet, hands, and ears
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology, or zone therapy, is an alternative medicine involving the physical act of applying pressure to the feet, hands, or ears with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion.
It is based on what reflexologists claim to be a system of zones and reflex areas that they say reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.
How It Works
There are five meridians on the back that, when opened, allow invigorating energy to travel the whole length of the body. Reflexology is one of the most used alternative therapies, helping to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
