Reflexology is very much misunderstood and an ignored spa treatment. Here, the therapist works on reflex points on thefeet that relate to particular glands and organs in the body. The therapists stimulate these points in order to make the corresponding organs and glands healthier via the body’s pathways. No heavy pressure is required when massaging, but what is more important is accessing these points exactly and holding each of these for a minute to get maximum benefits.

A skilled therapist uses various techniques like hold, pressure point stimulation, rubbing, kneading etc.Reflexology is said to stimulate individual organs and bodily symptoms, remove blockages, and reverse disease.Once the foot procedure is complete, the benefits can be experienced throughout the body by the receiver. In case the therapist is not so skilled you may just feel that it was a very long foot massage.
