Reflexology

It uses targeted points on the extremities to send signals to the brain and balance the nervous system. A reflexology practitioner stretches and moves the hands and feet, applying pressure on reflex areas that correspond to specific organs and other parts of the body. Endorphins are released throughout the entire body, reducing stress and returning the body to balance.

Reflexology is very effective in providing relief from headaches, digestive issues and back pain. Very often the therapist can say what organ is affected by the signs on the patient's hands and feet. This signs can be painful spots, swollen areas or irritated portions. A particular case of reflexotherapy is the auriculotherapy which uses the patients ears as point of focus.
