Reflexology is a manual technique that unleashes the body's self-regulating and self-healing abilities on the feet or hands.
It is based on the principle that the feet, hands and ears are the miniaturized representation of the human body. Each reflex zone corresponds to a specific organ, gland or part of the body. By applying rhythmic pressure to these areas, it is possible to localize tension and restore balance to the corresponding parts of the body.
Reflexology can help relieve many conditions or situations:
- intestinal problems ;
- headaches ;
- back pain;
- premenstrual syndrome symptoms;
- side effects of chemotherapy or other cancer treatments;
- symptoms of multiple sclerosis;
- and pregnancy.
The role of the reflexologist is to release tension and stimulate self-regulation. To do this, he uses specific pressure and touch on the so-called reflex zones. The reflexologist can also provide information on how to maintain or adopt a healthy lifestyle.
