Reflexology involves the use of applied precise alternating pressure techniques therapeutically on the corresponding area of the body located on the hands, feet and ears.

• In reflexology the body is mapped on the hands, feet and ears The body is divided into 10 longitudinal (vertical) zones, which run the length of the body from head to toe. To a reflexologist this is called "mapping the body". There are 10 zones, each finger and each toe represents the 10 zones that are used by the reflexologist to locate specific areas of the body.

  
  

• There are 7200 nerve endings in each foot; 2500 in each hand and 435 in each ear that corresponds to every part of the body. It is the nerve endings in the hands, feet and ears that send the message to the brain about stress or pain found in the body during a reflexology session. The brain than responds by producing endorphins, the body's natural pain reliever. The endorphins are then sent through the blood stream to the affected areas.
