Reflexology is a foot, hand and ear massage used to relieve tensions and prevent illness, based on the theory that there are points on the feet, hands, and ears linked to every part of the body. A practitioner using this Holistic Asian approach will massage your feet, hands, and ears knowing that the corresponding gland and organ are benefiting from the controlled pressure. Reflexology is known to relieve tensions, improve circulation, and encourage all systems to work together to re-establish balance.
