Part pleasure, part pain, reflexology is the practice of stimulating points on the feet and hands to improve health. Practitioners of reflexology believe that each area of the hand or foot corresponds to another part of the body.

By applying appropriate pressure to tight or "gritty" areas of a person's foot, the practitioner can stimulate the corresponding body part, causing it to begin healing itself. In addition to treating specific areas of the body, this gentle therapy also promotes overall feelings of relaxation and wellbeing.
