Reflexology is an unconventional, massage-like treatment. It is based on the premise that each organ, body part, or physiological function corresponds to a zone or point on the hands, feet, or ears. A specific touch applied to these areas helps locate and dissipate tension to restore balance to the body.

Reflexology unlocks the body's self-healing abilities and can relieve various ailments without medication. This manual technique is part of a so-called "energetic" and holistic approach to the body and is similar to shiatsu, acupuncture, and osteopathy.

Origin :

Reflexology is based in particular on the work of Eunice Ingham (1889 - 1974), an American nurse and physiotherapist. She is the author of the first modern treatise on reflexology.

Applications:

There are several types of reflexology related to various areas of the body: plantar reflexology (feet), palmar reflexology (hands), facial reflexology (or faciotherapy), ocular and cranial reflexology (Dien Chan), sympathicotherapy (stimulation of reflex zones in the nose, using stylets) and auriculotherapy (ears).

On the surface of both feet (plantar, dorsal, external and internal), and also of both hands, the entire body is represented by zones.

Massaging them helps prevent and treat chronic and acute disorders.

Past health problems (chronic disorders, congested organs) are detected by the presence of crystals which cause a specific sensation under the finger (cracking).

A very painful reflex point represents an organ in hyperfunction; it is massaged from the inside to the outside of the area, which has the effect of calming the organ.

The rest of the time, a massage of the reflex points is performed from the outside to the inside of the area, which has the effect of activating the organs.

A painful area or reflex point is not necessarily an indication that a target organ is "overfunctioning."

These painful reflex zones are mainly an indication of altered functioning of the projecting organ; this stimulation (by tonic or non-tonic punctual touch) can itself be modified in terms of the organism's perception depending on the times during which the reflex zone is stimulated.

- Surgical operations less than 2 months old.

- Recent heart problems and pacemaker.

- Phlebitis or thrombosis less than 3 months old.

- Early pregnancy (first 3 months).

- Medicalized asthma.

-Graft
