Reflexology was introduced by William Fitzgerald in 1913. It has been practiced by ancient Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Russian and Egyptian cultures.

This technique is applied to the feet, hands or ears using slow, deep movements of the fingers and thumbs. Pressure is applied to specific points that correspond somatotopically to specific areas or organs of the body . This compression reflexes through neurological pathways to restore balance to the entire body as an end result.

Benefits include reduced stress and anxiety, deep relaxation, revitalized energy, stimulated creativity and productivity, and promoted flow of life energy.

It also promotes healing, stimulates circulation, boosts the immune system, removes waste deposits from feet, cleanses the body of impurities and toxins, balances systematic functions, and removes congestion and blockages.

Reflexology can be effective in almost any situation and is a comfortable alternative for the person with physical restrictions (which cause difficulty in transferring on to a massage table) or the PTSD patient whom is sensitive to being touched or exposed.
