Reflexology is another wonderful way to find balance and relaxation in our lives. Negative emotions, excess stress, and tension accumulate in the body. Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine principles "the function of the organs is not measured solely by the anatomical roles they play, but by their energetic constitutions as well. The organs work as a matrix of interdependent influences, each has a physical, an energetic, and an emotional function that directly contributes to psychosomatic health."*
Foot reflexology uses specific points on the feet that correspond with those organ matrixes by applying pressure to those areas with detailed techniques that tone, relax, and release stress. It is a deeply relaxing treatment that is accessible even to those that may not be suitable for massage therapy and akin to acupuncture.
