REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is an art that works on the principle that reflex areas on the hands and feet correspond to certain organs and body systems. When an imbalance occurs, the energy pathways that link with the reflex points can become blocked. By working on the related areas of the feet and hands, a blockage may be released to aid the body in restoring its natural balance.
