Reflexology
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary health therapy, based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower legs, hands, face, and ears correspond with different areas of the body. Reflexologists work holistically with their clients and aim to work alongside allopathic healthcare to promote better health for their clients.
