Purpose of Reflexology Massage
Reflexology is a gentle form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and sometimes to the hands and ears. It evolved around 1913 from the work of Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, an ear and nose and throat surgeon in the United States. Reflexology is considered to be a holistic healing technique that aims to treat the individual as a whole, in order to induce a state of balance and harmony in body, mind and spirit.

Reflexology Massage Techniques
Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex zones, (maps) on the feet, hands and ears corresponding to all the parts of the body including major organs. It is believed that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, hands and ears can affect internal organs and body systems, and therefore promote good health. The therapist stimulates and works these organs and systems through the reflexes zones on the ears, hands and feet, applying pressure with thumb and fingers. Pressure is applied to clear out congestion and restore normal functioning and health.
