What is Reflexology?

So, what exactly is reflexology? Reflexology is a type of hand and foot massage that offers health benefits for the entire body. The foundation of reflexology is that there are specific points in the feet and hands that correspond to each of the body’s organs and systems. By applying pressure to these areas, a practitioner can bring the body back into a healthy balance. In western reflexology, the therapist only uses her hands during treatment. In the eastern style of reflexology, implements are used along with the hands.

The ancient healing art of reflexology which is practised by Healing Hands is reflexology,  has been a tradition in many cultures for thousands of years. Reflexology was first practiced in India, China and Egypt, but is also found in other societies throughout the world. Many ancient charts and manuscripts refer to the practice of reflexology, and there are even drawings on the walls of pyramids in Egypt depicting people practicing reflexology on others.

No matter which style is used, a reflexologist works from charts that outline specific points that can help to correct health issues or simply maintain balance in the body. While reflexology is a proven technique that can help address many minor and chronic health issues, it is not a cure. Those with major health concerns should use reflexology to support any medical treatments, not replace them.

Unlike massage, however, reflexology is a dry technique that does not use lotions or oils.
