Q: What is REFLEXOLOGY?
A: It is an art of stress reduction based on the work of two American physicians , Dr. William Fitzgerald and Dr. Joe Shelby Riley in the 1920’s. Foot and Hand Reflexology is a scientific art based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all body parts. The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques result in stress reduction which causes a physiological change in the body.
Q: What are the benefits of REFLEXOLOGY?
A: Relexologists do not practice medicine in any form. They do not diagnose any medical disorder.Nor do they prescribe or adjust medications. Reflexology is not a substitute for medical treatment, but is a complement to any type of medical treatment or therapy. Though any serious reaction to a reflexology session is rare, there are situations where the use of reflexology is not appropriate. The professional reflexologist always uses discretion when working on chronic and/or degenerative diseases.
Q: Is REFLEXOLOGY painful?
A: No, reflexology should not be painful. The primary goal is relaxation.
Q: Is there any scientific basis to REFLEXOLOGY?
A: In the 1890’s knighted scientist, Dr. Henry Head, proved the neurological relationship that exists between the skin and the internal organs. Nobel prize winner, Sir Charles Sherrington proved that the whole nervous system and body adjusts to a stimulus when it is applied to any part of the body. In Germany, Dr. Alfons Cornelius observed pressure to certain spots triggered muscle contractions, changes in blood pressure, variation in warmth and moisture in the body as well as directly affecting the "psychic processes" or mental state of the patient. Currently research studies to further validate reflexology are being conducted in many countries including Switzerland, Denmark, USA and Australia. In Japan and Denmark reflexology has been incorporated into the employee health programs of several large corporations saving each company thousands of dollars annually.

Q: What does it mean when some areas are more sensitive?
