Reflexology is a therapy based on the principle that there are small and specific areas of the hands and feet that correspond to specific muscle groups or organs of the body. In this system, the nerve endings in the extremities provide a “map” of the rest of the body. Through the application of pressure on particular areas of the hands or feet, reflexology promotes benefits such as the relaxation of tension, improvement of circulation, and support of normalized function in the related area in the body.
