Reflexology is a form of foot massage based on the principal that there are reflex points on the hands and feet that correspond to each organ and structure of the body. It is an holistic therapy which can help relieve the pain or discomfort of a range of disorders, such as migraines and sinus problems to backache and poor circulation, by applying pressure to a reflex point corresponding to a particular part of the body. When a reflex point is tender, this can indicate that the corresponding organ or structure is disfunctioning and, by applying reflexology techniques, this can relieve the symptoms. As well as relieving symptoms you may be experiencing from a particular problem, it also benefits healthy people by working as a preventative as well as reducing muscle tension and relieving stress and anxiety.
