Reflexology is based on a 5,000 year old healing system from China. The techniques involve applying pressure in specific patterns over reflex zones on the feet, hands and/or ears, that have energetic correlation to various parts of the body. Through stimulating various reflex zones, reflexology and foot massage helps to increase circulation, improve relaxation, normalize body function, and promote an overall sense of well-being.
