The main principal of reflexology is based on the fact that in the human body there are more than 70,000 nerve endings. Many of these are located in the foot. These nerve endings connect to internal and external organs throughout the body, through energy channels. This massage specifically targets the feet, stimulating the nerve endings to produce a general healing effect. In particular, it has a positive ‘reflex’ effect on the blood circulatory and lymphatic systems, the immune system, and regulates the functioning of the endocrine glands. The massage also has relaxing and pain-alleviation effects particularly beneficial for pain in the feet and headaches. It can also help with cases of anxiety, insomnia and stress.
