Reflexology
The reflexology is a manual therapy technique based on a holistic approach to the human body. It is founded on the principle that certain reflex zones, located primarily on the feet, hands, and sometimes the ears, correspond to different organs and systems of the body. By stimulating these precise points using specific pressures and movements, reflexology aims to promote the body's natural balance, improve circulation, and support the body's self-regulating processes. The reflexologist typically works with their fingers and thumbs, applying various pressure techniques tailored to the individual's needs.
