Reflexology is a form of alternative medicine where physical pressure is applied to pressure points on the body (in my case, the feet) in order to achieve balance and wellness. Different pressure points correspond to different organs or areas of the body. So one of the goals of reflexology might be to relieve stress and pain in another body part through the manipulation of the feet. Another goal includes putting the person into a very relaxed state of healing, rest and repair.
Some issues that reflexology can help with include:
- stress and stress-related conditions
- tension headaches
- arthritis
- insomnia
- hormonal imbalances
- sports injuries
- menstrual disorders, such as PMS
- digestive problems such as constipation
- back pain
