How does Reflexology work?

Pressure applied to the feet generates a signal through the peripheral nervous system. From there it enters the central nervous system where it is processed in various parts of the brain. It is then relayed to the internal organs to allocate the necessary adjustments. Finally a response is fashioned that is sent onto the motor system.
This message is fed forward to adjust the body's overall tension level. If applied properly the tone will reset itself to a lower operating tempo. A lower operating tempo means a lessening of stress and decreased wear and tear on the body's systems. The application of appropriate pressure and its effect is unique for each individual.

In the first session a health history will be taken, a basis from which to set treatment goals and to document the process.
