the body. Reflexology uses therapeutic pressure on these associated areas
to promote the body's natural healing ability. Balance is achieved by
working on areas of tenderness to enhance the energy flow. Reflexology
gently nudges the body towards better functioning by improving lymphatic
drainage and venous circulation, simulation to the nerve pathways, and
muscle relaxation. It is an excellent complementary medicine for deeper
relaxation, stress reduction and pain relief.
