What is Reflexology and how is it different from massage?
Reflexology is an ancient scientific art that focuses on using reflex points in the feet or hands to refer to specific body parts or functions. Reflexology uses a specific “walk” of the thumb or fingers across the surfaces of the feet or hands to pinpoint each reflex. No lotions or oils are used and the motions do not glide as in traditional massage. Reflexology can be deeply relaxing and can have effects on any or all body systems though only the hands or feet are actually touched. Massage touches body areas directly. Reflexology targets areas by working with the corresponding reflex points or “nerve endings” where the nerve bundles terminate in the hands or feet.
