Foot reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years — from Ancient Egypt to China and India. The principle: every point on the sole corresponds to an organ or body system.
What Is Foot Reflexology?
Foot reflexology applies pressure to specific points on the soles, top, and ankles. Each point corresponds to an organ, gland, or body part through energy pathways (meridians). Unlike relaxation massage, reflexology aims to balance body energy and stimulate natural healing.
