FAQs: Reflexology

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hands with techniques that do not utilize oil, cream or lotion. Technique application is assessed on the basis of zones and reflex areas. (American definition published by Kunz and Kunz 1981) The ancient healing art of refexology has been known for many thousands of years. It was first practiced by the early Indians, Chinese and Egyptians who observed that congestion or tension in any part of the foot mirrors congestion or tension in a corresponding part of the body. If you treat the big toes there is a related effect in the head and treating the whole foot can have a relaxing and healing effect on the whole body.
