Reflexology
 

Reflexology is a very popular therapy most often involving massage of the feet though where appropriate hand reflexology can also be used. It is related to acupuncture and acupressure in that it also involves deeper work stimulating pressure or reflex points which correspond (like a map) to different parts of the body via a network of energy channels.

Furthermore, though the skin is at its thickest on the soles of our feet, this is where the most nerve endings are located (approximately 7,000 in each foot), so reflexology also works directly with the nervous system to relieve pain and promote well-being, peace and deep relaxation. It also stimulates the body’s own natural healing mechanisms, aiding the elimination of toxins and helping our systems gently and efficiently back into balance.

"The greatest engineering device in the world is the foot."

-Leonardo Da Vinci
