Reflexology

Reflexology is a way of treating the body in a holistic way by applying pressure to the relevant reflex points on the feet. A reflexology treatment involves treating the feet by pressing all these reflex points. In particular, blockages that may be the cause of disease are worked on, bringing about a state of equilibrium in the body. It is recommended that a series of at least 4 treatments be given to begin to get marked results.
