(Muscle Response Testing - M.R.T.)
Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body, including glands and organs. For example, the tips of the toes reflect the head, the liver is reflected in the arch of the foot, and the intestines correspond to the heel of the foot.
By applying pressure to specific points using thumb, finger and hand techniques, without the use of oil or lotion, reflexology can relieve tension, improve circulation and promote natural physiological functions throughout the body. Reflexology enables energy (QI) to flow unimpeded to specific regions of the body depending upon which pressure points on the feet and hands are manipulated by the Practioner.
Reflexology can be used as a diagnostic tool to uncover allergies and the proper antidotes for treatment. The technique is also used to determine nutritional deficiencies.
