Reflexology is a body-work therapy that induces relaxation
and helps to restore balance within all levels of the client, hence facilitating
self-healing processes.
Although reflexology is usually associated with
the feet, feet and/or hands may be treated with equivalent effects. Treatments
take the
form
of gentle
tissue manipulations and should be relaxing but never painful.
A reflexology treatment often consists of a short
relaxation of each foot, followed by a more thorough reflexology treatment
of each
foot,
followed
by a short completion routine on both feet simultaneously. Many people
fall asleep, or at least enjoy a period of deep relaxation during their
reflexology treatment.
Timing varies but a standard treatment may have a duration of about an
hour, though shorter treatments for children, the elderly, and in corporate
environments are not uncommon. The above is a short summary about
reflexology.

information about Reflexology and
the History
of Reflexology is included on the relevant page of the Therapies
