Reflexology is based on the theory that all the organs and systems of the human body are mapped out onto the feet. By using specific massaging techniques, the Reflexologist aims to return the body to homeostasis (a state of balance). The body's energy can become imbalanced due to many factors, one of the main ones being stress. Stress can come in many forms; diet, emotional problems, poor posture, pregnancy, work, exams and many more.... Energy blockages then can become symptoms (headaches, migraines, tension...). Reflexology is a therapy that deals with the cause of the problem not just the physical symptoms. It is a holistic therapy, it deals with the body as a whole, physically, mentally and emotionally all of which contribute to a persons well-being. So the client/patient needs to be aware that they may need to change/adapt their lifestyle to also help the healing process.
