Reflexology is a natural therapy using pressure point massage on the feet which connect to organs, structures and systems within the entire body. Through the simulation of these reflex areas, the whole body is treated and brought back to balance. Reflexology is used to treat a number of different disorders, including stress, headaches, back and neck ache, sinus problems, hormonal imbalances and irritable bowel syndrome. Reflexology is used to maintain good health by boosting vitality and prompting balance, so that symptoms of ill-health do not appear.
