What is Foot Reflexology?

 Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet to effect corresponding parts of the body. Reflexologists view the feet and hands as a mirror image of the body. By applying this technique, a therapist can break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body.
 

How Does Foot Reflexology Work?
There are many theories but in our approach we look at the nervous system as the explanation of reflexology's working.
Pressure applied to the feet generates a signal through the peripheral nervous system. From there it enters the central nervous system where it is processed in various parts of the brain. It is then relayed to the internal organs to allocate the necessary adjustments in fuel and oxygen, Finally a response is fashioned that is sent onto the motor system.
This message is feed forward to adjust the body's tone or overall tension level. If applied properly the tone will reset itself to a lower operating tempo. A lower operating tempo means a lessening of stress and less wear and tear on the body's systems
