Introduction
Reflexology is a form of treatment based on the belief that the body is dependent upon energy flows which can be improved through specific pressure massage of the hands and feet where all the internal body structures and organs are mapped or mirrored in miniature.
The treatment can be used for stimulation of systems and relaxation.
