¿What is reflexology?
When we speak of reflexology in general we are referring to a therapeutic technique which is based on manual stimulation of the so called reflex points and areas. Together with this we also include aspects of the traditional Chinese medicine which powers the effects. With all this plus specific techniques of relaxation of the feet, we have designed a therapeutic system that is extremely effective and that produces a deep relaxation in the person.
By this you obtain an indirect action on various organs, tissues and conditions of our whole being while achieving an auto regulation of the body functions and emotions.
This technique allows to detect health problems in their earlier state, so that it turns out to become an effective form of prevention.
Reflexology is indicated for the treatment of pain, whatever its origin (sciatic, arthritis, muscular, migraines, etc.) and for sufferings: digestive, breathing, circulatory, endocrine, nervous, female, etc.
This technique originates a deep and lasting state of relaxation. It stimulates the blood circulation and balances the organic functions while turning out to be extremely pleasant.
The WHO (World Health Organization) recognizes reflexology as an auxiliary medicine technique, with great acceptance in the modern scientific world.
