Reflexology
Reflexology
is the practice of stimulating the hands, feet and ears as a form
of therapy. Using thumb, finger and hand techniques, reflexologist
apply pressure to specific areas by massaging, squeezing, or pushing
on parts of the hands, feet or ears to alleviate common ailments
such as headaches, back pain, sinus colds and stress.
The
theory behind reflexology is that each of the body's organs and
glands are "linked" to corresponding
areas of the hands and feet. The application of pressure to the
hands, feet or ears relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation.
Energy is restored to the body and ultimately reflexology improves
its overall condition.
