Massage and Bodywork: Reflexology

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a touch therapy that uses pressure to certain points on the hands, feet, and sometimes ears. These points relate to the body's organs and glands. Touching the points creates nerve impulses that send messages to the brain and, in turn, to the organs. Reflexology can be used to relieve pain, strengthen the body, and improve vitality and well-being.
