Heal The Body By Treating The Feet

As with so many “alternative” therapies, reflexology has its roots in the ancient civilisations of China, India, North America and Egypt. Working on the principle that reflexes on the feet – and hands – act as mirror images of the body, this treatment is designed to encourage the body to balance and heal itself.

But although the practice may have been around for thousands of years, it’s not easy for everyone to get their head around the idea that applying pressure to the feet can make a difference to back pain, migraine or a grumbling tummy.
