Reflexology is a technique which involves applying gentle pressure to parts of the feet, which correspond to precise reflex points in the body. It revolves around the understanding that there are over 7,000 nerve endings or reflex points on each of the feet (or hands) that relate to the tissues, organs and systems of the body.

Applying gentle pressure to these reflex points may influence the body in many ways. For example, reflexology has been found to reduce stress and tension, relieve pain, improve bodily functions and generally restore the body to a better state, so improving physical well being.
