Reflexology is the study, science and art of using various touch techniques on specific points of the feet, hands, or ears to normalize body function and restore energy throughout the body. It releases restricted energy flow, improves blood supply and promotes neurological stimulation of the affected area. The goal of the work is to break down crystal deposits in the body or electrical part of the nervous system to help restore internal balance.
Reflexology is as old as acupuncture and ancient texts indicate that different cultures had their own variations of this art. Doctor William Fitzgerald developed reflexology as we know it today in 1913 and further research was done by Eunice Ingham. She developed the "map" of the body pertaining to reflexology.
Sessions generally last 30 to 60 minutes.
