Reflexology seems like a fancy name for a foot massage. How is it different?
Reflexology is a science that deals with the reflex areas in our feet and hands that correspond to every organ, gland and other part of our body. It is an ancient and natural acupressure technique that stimulates reflex zones on the feet and hands by using pressure. The points cannot just be massaged to get the benefits, because some of them are very deep and the angles at which you hit them are very important. Foot massage is simply a soothing treatment to the foot, also known as a foot rub. While a massage can always relax no matter where you rub, in Reflexology the therapist is trying to hit the reflexes in exact precise angles with more pressure than just a deep massage. Reflexology can therefore occasionally feel quite intense.
