Reflexology Clinic

Reflexology clinic is a health clinic where zone therapy is practiced. Reflexology is an alternative medical therapy that involves pressure point massages on feet, hands, etc using fingers. Each spot in the feet, hand and ear is linked to the respective parts and systems of the body, and thus by applying pressure on these spots with precision can regulate their functioning or even heal impairments. Reflexologists explain that flow of energy is blocked due to heavy load of work or any other reason and by triggering these energy blocks or “qi” they can be treated. In a typical reflexology clinic there are specialized reflexologists who are skilled in zone therapy and give therapy to patients. The types of reflexology treatments can be hand reflexology, feet reflexology and ear reflexology. Most commonly reflexology treatments use bare fingers to apply pressure and no medicated oil or cream or lotion is applied before or after therapy. Reflexology clinic is popular for the past twenty years in the UK, reflexology treatments actually originate from China and Egypt; but was later elaborated by various scientists since early 19 hundred. Reflexology clinic is sometimes misunderstood for acupuncture clinic. Acupuncture also involves application of pressure but it is done with needles. Reflexology treatment is performed with free hands with just pressure exerted by thumbs, fingers and hands. Reflexologists execute reflexology therapy after being trained and educated in reflexology training and reflexology courses. Reflexology treatments have not been scientifically or clinically proven and have been just published as books by doctors. Therefore reflexology clinic is not linked or authorized or promoted by the government. The different types of reflexology treatments offered in reflexology clinic have been discussed below.
