The benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology therapy is a natural, holistic approach to relieving aches and pains.
This modality is an ancient healing practice that is based on the belief that there are reflex areas located on the feet and hands that correspond to individuals glands, organs and body parts.
Our Professional Reflexologists undergoes meticulous training to know all the points and what they relate to. For example, base of the little toe represents the ear, and the ball of the foot under the toes represents the lung. See attached charts.
