The idea of reflexology is founded on the theory
that the human hands and feet
are closely connected to other areas and organs of the body that are physically close.
By applying technique a therapist
could help minimise tension
in other bodily areas.
Foot massage therapy is a alternative treatment that is based on the feet
to ease the discomfort for the person as a whole not just the obvious symptoms.
Fairly recent data from Abroad shows that hand and foot massage may aid those enduring heart disease.
Reflexology might help reduce the
pain suffered by clients
with liver trouble.
As with many other complementary therapies,
all reflexology therapy is holistic as the body is treated as a whole.
Once holistic treatment is complete it would be wise if the patient relax and benefit from the therapy and ensure that lots of water is drunk.
