Reflexology in Winnipeg

What is Reflexology?

In reflexology, nerves or reflexes in the feet, hands and ears correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Charts are used to identify the areas to be stimulated for certain conditions or functions. Pressure is applied to these reflexes by hand or with reflexology tools, techniques such as finger walking, kneading and massage are used. The pressure is firm but not painful. Using the Reflexology principals, this pressure to the reflexes stimulates the corresponding channels which travel to areas of the body to encourage better function. This stimulation provides benefits to your overall health by reliving tension, improving circulation and promotes the natural function.
