 Reflexology
is the application of appropriate pressure by
thumbs and fingers to specific points and areas
on the feet in order to improve the recipient's
health.
These areas and reflex points
correspond to different body organs and systems
and that pressing them has a beneficial effect
on the organs and person's general health.
Reflexology holds that a
specific spot in the arch of the foot
corresponds to the bladder point. When a
reflexology practitioner uses thumbs or fingers
to apply appropriate pressure to this area, it
affects bladder functioning.
Reflexology is a "reflex"
therapy in that it works with points on one part
of the body to affect other parts of the body.
It uses over 800 reflex points that are found
along long thin energy lines called meridians
that run the length of the entire body.
Reflexology focuses on the
reflex maps of points and areas of the body in
the feet using unique micro movement techniques
such as thumb or finger walking to create a
response throughout the body. Reflexologists
work from the inside out stimulating the nervous
system to release tension.
