- Reflexology is a holistic treatment based on the scientific fact that there are points (reflexes) on the feet, hands, and head that relate to all parts of the body including glands, organs, and systems. Reflex points are stimulated by applying pressure using primarily the therapist thumb and index finger, which in turn stimulates the movement of energy and helps to restore homeostasis (balance) in the whole body. Based on research, there's neurological relationship between internal organs and the skin, and that the entire nervous system adjusts when stimulated. When pressure is made to the ears, hands, and feet, a calming message is sent to the central nervous system. As a result, overall relaxation helps the organs function at their best.
