Reflexology dates back thousands of years and has been used by many different cultures. Reflexology is
the technique of applying gentle pressure to the reflexes on the feet and hands in order to bring about deep relaxation, stimulate the body’s own healing processes and restore the body back to its natural state of balance. Reflexology works on both the physical and emotional levels.
Reflexology is based on zone therapy, which is that energy travels along pathways through the body called Meridians or zones. The body is divided into 10 zones that run from the feet up the entire length of the body. Illness is thought to occur when the energy channels become blocked.
The right foot represents the right side of the body and the left foot, the left side. The feet are a map of the
entire body. Sensitivity in one spot on either the feet or hands creates an imbalance in the entire length of
the zone. By stimulating these lines it will have a rejuvenating effect on the entire body.
