What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a form of bodywork that focuses primarily on the feet.
How does reflexology work?
The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are “reflex” areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body.

For example:
• the tips of the toes reflect the head
• the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot
• the liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot
• low back and intestines are towards the heel

A scientific explanation is that the pressure may send signals that balance the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce pain and stress.

What will I feel?
Most people find reflexology for the most part to be very relaxing.
Reflexology shouldn’t be painful.
If you feel discomfort, be sure to tell the reflexologist.
He or she should work within your comfort zone.
Some areas may be tender or sore, and the reflexologist may spend extra time on these points.
The soreness should decrease with pressure.

If you’re ticklish, not to worry, the reflexologist applies firm pressure to the feet!

Why do people get reflexology?
• Stress and stress-related conditions
• Tension headaches
• Digestive disorders
• Arthritis
• Insomnia
• Hormonal imbalances
• Sports injuries
• Menstrual disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
• Digestive problems, such as constipation
• Back pain

Reflexology is a popular alternative therapy. It promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet, and encourages overall healing.
Reflexology is recommended as a complementary therapy and should not replace medical treatment.
