Reflexology is an ancient healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the head, feet, and hands that correspond to every part of the body. Through the application of massage and pressure on these reflexes, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation, helps to re-balance the body, and provides preventative health care.
By working the reflex points, we can stimulate the body’s natural flow of energy and break-down the crystal deposits which may interfere with it.
Some insurance companies do cover the cost of Reflexology under extended health benefits, if the Reflexologist is registered.
