The Reflexology Association of Illinois defines it as “an art and science based on the premise that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands, which correspond to all the glands, organs, parts and systems of the body. 

The physical act of applying specific pressure using thumb, finger and various hand techniques to these reflex areas will promote physiological changes is the body.

Reflexology is an ancient holistic healing technique. Reflexology is a drugless therapy that treats the whole body.  Reflexology helps to bring our bodies into homeostasis, a state of balance.

Reflexology is not to be mistaken for a foot massage or any form of massage therapy.  It has its own unique protocol and does not require the client to disrobe.  Reflexology can complement any healthcare work.”
