Reflexology
Reflexology is the practice of
massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the
feet, or
sometimes the
hands
and
ears,
with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or
to improve general
health.
reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hand with
specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It
is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body
on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to
the body.

Acupressure and
Sport Massage
Acupressure (a
blend
of "acupuncture"
and "pressure") is a
traditional Chinese
medicine (TCM) technique derived from
acupuncture. In acupressure physical pressure is applied to
acupuncture points
by the hand, elbow, or with various devices. Acupressure is an ancient healing
art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to
stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. when these points are
pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and
the body's life force to aid healing.
