Reflexology is a type of energy medicine based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The non-invasive complementary therapy involves applying therapeutic pressure to reflex points on the feet and hands. According to the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences, the TCM principle behind reflexology is that the reflex, or pressure points, correspond to different organs throughout the entire body, and that “through the feet the entire body can be balanced and harmonized”.

By stimulating these areas, a reflexologist can help the body relax, which may ease aches and pains in the back, neck, legs, shoulders and feet.
