Reflexology is a method of manual techniques, such as thumb and finger-walking, hook and backup, and rotating-on-a-point applied to specific reflex areas involving reflex maps resembling the human body found predominantly on the feet and hands. The techniques applied stimulate the complex neural pathways linking body systems and supporting the body’s efforts to function optimally. Reflexology is used to relieve a range of stress- related disorders, such as headaches, indigestion, insomnia, backache and chronic or serious illnesses such as osteoarthritis, heart disease and cancer.
