Reflexology Massage
Reflexology is a form of bodywork that involves applying pressure to the hands and feet, or reflex areas, to elevate pain and unblock energy pathways.
There are certain points or "reflex areas" on the feet and hands that are connected energetically to specific organs and body parts through energy channels in the body.
Pressure on the reflex points also helps to balance the central nervous system and stimulates the release of endorphins that help to reduce pain and stress.
Here are some examples of reflex areas and their corresponding body parts:
⦁ The tips of the toes reflect the head
⦁ The ball of the feet reflect the heart and chest
⦁ The arch of feet reflect the liver, pancreas, and kidneys
⦁ The heel of the feet reflect the lower back and intestinal tract
