Reflexology can help a person to become physically and mentally balanced.With everyday stresses of modern life, the human body is like a bow string, tense and taut.This is why breakdowns, stomach ulcers and skin problems and the like are commonplace.
When a person is unfit and out of sorts, the body is more susceptible to attack by germs, diseases and other problems which would normally be resisted. Reflexology, correctly administered, can give a person new vigour, vitality and a deep feeling of well being. Athletes can also benefit from reflexology, which bring about an improvement in their overall performance.
WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
