- Reflexology
Reflexology is a technique of manipulating the feet in order to improve circulation, ease pain, and increase relaxation in the body. Reflexology is based on the theory that all body parts, organs, and glands are associated with specific areas, called reflex zones, in the feet, hands, ears and surface of the skin. By manipulation the associated zones, changes can be effected in the corresponding body part. For this reason , Reflexology is sometimes called Zone Therapy. The feet have a large concentration of nerve endings and are, therefore, particularly sensitive; in addition, they are easier to grasp for firm, focused manipulation. Consequently, reflexology treatments generally concentrate on the feet. • Reflexology is considered a type of Bodywork. [Bodywork, What type of Massage to Get and How to Make the Most of it]
