Reflexology treats the whole person and not specific conditions. It is a gentle complementary therapy in which the practitioner applies controlled pressure with thumbs or fingers to specific areas of the feet and sometimes the hands. It is based on the theory that every organ, structure and part of the body is mirrored in the feet and problems are reflected in the related part of the foot. By working the reflex points a reaction can be stimulated helping to remove blockages and help clear disease.
