Reflexology works on the principal that there are ''reflexes' or 'responsive zones' in the feet and hands corresponding to each and every part and organ of the body.

Working on these reflexes systematically with pressure and manipulation has three main effects - it brings about normal functioning of all the organs and glands in the body, improves nerve function and blood supply, and finally and very importantly, induces a state of relaxation.

The reflexes are arranged in such a way as to form a map of the body on the hands and feet, the right foot relating to the left side and vice versa. When giving treatment, professional reflexologists use their fingers, thumbs and hands to bring about the desired results. The principal effect of this treatment is to bring about a sense of calm and relaxation, which in turn relieves all kinds of problems related to stress factors. Reflexology also aids lymphatic and venous circulation and has been found beneficial for a wide range of disorders, from back pain to migraines, sinusitis and digestive problems. It is also extremely effective for the alleviation of pain.
