6. THE REFLEXOLOGY


Reflexology is an ancient form of healing that can be traced to the Egyptians over 4,000 years ago. Although reflexology is sometimes called foot massage, it is more than a simple foot massage.

This type of massage works the internal organs of the body through manipulation of accupoints or tsubos (reflex areas on the feet corresponding to all the parts of the body including the major organs -see chart) on the soles of your feet, applying pressure to certain points on the foot that correspond to organs and systems in the body.


Reflexology is very relaxing and is especially healing for people who stand on their feet for a long time, walk long distances, or have sensitive feet.

Studies support that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet can affect internal organs and body systems, thus promoting good health.
