Reflexologists believe that the feet and hands contain a map of the human body, with specific areas on each foot and hand directly correlating to internal organs, lymphatic, nervous, and circulatory systems. Through skilled manipulation of reflex points on the feet (or hands), a reflexologist addresses corresponding parts of the body in an effort to bring balance.
An important benefit of reflexology is its ability to help reduce stress. Since a large number of illnesses can be directly attributed to stress and nervous tension, reflexology encourages the body to relax and heal.
Sessions range from 30 minutes to an hour.
