How Reflexology Works
Reflexology is based on the division of the body into ten energy zones which run the length of the body, from head to toe and down through the arms to the hands. Qi energy (pronounced ‘Chee’), flows through these zones when we are in good health.
When we are not in good health, Reflexology can help to identify areas of the body where the energy is not properly balanced. By using a caterpillar-style or gliding stroke of the thumb or finger, and by applying light pressure over the reflex points, it is possible to detect energy blockages. These present themselves in the form of discomfort and crystalline deposits. Working generally over the reflex points may effectively treat any blockages or imbalances, thus helping the body heal itself.
