Reflexology involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands, and ears. This treatment is based on a theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems.

​

Reflexology rests on the ancient Chinese belief in qi (pronounced “chee”), or “vital” energy, believing that stress can cause an imbalance in the body that leads to illness. This type of treatment aims to keep qi flowing through the body, keeping it balanced and disease free. 

​

In Chinese medicine, different body parts correspond with different pressure points on the body, throughout the treatment touch sends energy flowing through a person’s body until it reaches the area in need of healing. 

 

In later years, British scientists found that nerves connect the skin and internal organs. They also found that the body’s entire nervous system tends to adjust to outside factors, including touch so it is believed a reflexologist’s touch may help to calm the central nervous system, promoting relaxation and other benefits just like any form of massage.
