Foot reflexology is an ancient holistic practice based on the principle that specific points on the feet (reflexes) correspond to different organs, structures and glands throughout the body. It is believed that Reflexology can help clear blockages in these areas and stimulate the body's natural healing ability. Reflexology can be helpful in reducing stress, improving quality of sleep and relieving muscle tension and pain throughout the body. Foot reflexology (when performed by an RMT) is considered to be under the scope of Massage Therapy and can be billed as massage therapy to your health benefits.
