Description

Before you book, let us tell you briefly what reflexology really is — and why it is so relaxing.

What is reflexology

Reflexology is a gentle therapy that works on the whole body through the soles of the feet. It is based on the principle that the soles contain reflex points corresponding to the body’s organs and systems, and the pressure applied to them brings relaxation and balance. It is soothing and also ideal for those who prefer to stay clothed. In essence, it is a foot massage focused on these reflex points.

The map in the soles

According to reflexology, each area of the sole corresponds to a part of the body — a miniature map. By stimulating these points, the therapist helps relax the corresponding areas and bring on a general state of calm. It is a practice with ancient roots, found in many cultures of the world.

The technique

The therapist applies precise pressure with the thumbs and fingers on the reflex points of the soles, alternating with gentle relaxing movements of the foot. The pressure is firm yet pleasant, and the whole session has a deeply soothing effect.
