Foot Reflexology
With over 7000 nerve endings in the feet, we can observe a microcosm of the entire body mapped out within our feet. Reflexology is a popular, non-invasive therapy which has been practiced in such diverse cultures as Egypt, China, India, Japan and Europe throughout the ages. The study of the feet is one example of a holographic field perfectly represented on the small scale.
Reflexology is an extremely effective form of therapeutic foot massage that benefits not only our overworked and under-appreciated feet. People of all ages, from tiny infants to the elderly, can benefit from regular reflexology sessions.
The principle of Reflexology is that there are zones and reflex areas which correspond to every part of the body by way of nerve pathways. For example, the big toe represents the head, the area at the base of the toes corresponds to the neck and shoulder girdle and the zones of the internal organs are located in the arch of the foot. The therapist applies pressure on reflex points, stimulating and helping to balance the whole body. Reflexology may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.
