Foot reflexology consists of application of pressure on specific reflex points on the feet. By stimulating these points, foot reflexology activates your nervous system, stimulates various organs, increases feel-good brain chemicals like endorphins and can help release tension and promote relaxation throughout the body.
Our feet have more than 100 muscles and connectors and they bear the weight of our entire body giving us stability and balance. That’s why treating them to a gentle and stimulating massage can make a difference in your overall wellbeing and health.
