Reflexology

Reflexology dates back thousands of years. It was first practiced by the Ancient Egyptians, Chinese and the Japanese to promote good health.

Reflexology is a pressure therapy applied to the feet and hands. It is based on the principle that there are thousands of tiny nerves within the soles of the feet, called reflexes.
