This technique is based on a system of points on the hands, feet and ears that correspond, or "reflex," to other areas of the body. Similar in theory to acupressure, reflexologists believe that applying appropriate pressure to these points stimulates the flow of energy, thus helping to relieve pain or blockages throughout all the body’s systems. A very pleasurable form of bodywork, reflexology is also used to ease stress and promote relaxation.
