Reflexology is a form of alternative massage therapy that’s based on the premise that various reflex points, or “trigger points,” on the feet correspond to specific organs and/or muscles in the human body.
By applying a certain amount of pressure on these points, a trained reflexologist can activate your body’s healing process so it can naturally restore a healthy balance.
Foot reflexology is often confused with basic foot massage, but the two are quite different. Ordinary foot massage involves manipulating tissues in your foot to relieve tension, relax the muscles and enhance circulation in your feet. In so doing, a basic foot massage improves your overall well-being.
