ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY:

Reflexology is based on the understanding that certain parts of the body reflect the whole body. These parts are referred to as microsystems. In the practice of reflexology, some of these microsystems are worked to relieve stress and tension throughout the body. Frequently this relief of stress and tension will effectively relieve pain and facilitate natural healing.

Reflexology as a natural healing art has a very real beauty. Its beauty emanates from its essential simplicity juxtaposed with its potent effectiveness as a therapy. It is easy to learn, simple to perform, and, practiced with commonsense harmless. Simultaneously, reflexology is proven to produce therapeutic benefits for a wide range of health conditions. Based on this, it is asserted that reflexology is the core of natural healing and that it complements all other therapies. In addition, it produces one of the most sublime relaxation experiences while it rejuvenates and revitalizes all aspects of our body and being.

Reflexology has a very long history, over 4000 years.

There are many theories as to how reflexology works, and, recently reflexology research (over 75 reflexology research studies addressing many different health conditions are summarized in our research pages) is beginning to throw more light onto this topic as well as the wide variety of health benefits that reflexology can provide.
