Reflexology is a complementary therapy using pressure on specific points on the feet, these correspond to different organs and systems in the body, aiming to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support the body's natural healing by restoring energy flow (qi). Practitioners use thumbs, fingers, and hands to apply pressure, stimulating these "reflex zones" to create therapeutic effects in related body areas, though it's not a replacement for conventional medicine.
How it works
* Reflex points: Maps of the feet, hands, and ears show reflex areas linked to organs, glands, and parts of the body.
* Qi (Energy Flow): Based on traditional Chinese medicine, stress blocks vital energy (qi), and reflexology aims to clear these blockages, keeping qi flowing for balance.
* Stimulation: Applying pressure to these points is thought to trigger the release of endorphins, reduce stress, improve circulation, and stimulate nerve function.
What to expect
Session: Typically 30-60 minutes, seated or lying down, fully clothed.
Technique: Gentle to medium pressure on the feet, often with cream or oil.
Sensation: May feel deeply relaxing, but some discomfort or emotional shifts can occur as energy moves.
