What is Hand Reflexology
WHAT IS HAND REFLEXOLOGY?
Hand Reflexology works in the same way as foot Reflexology. You will use the same techniques as the foot when working the reflex points on the hand and provide a full treatment covering all the systems.
It may be used when the reflexologist is unable to treat the feet. This might be, for example, when a client has a contra-indication, severe damage to the foot or amputation. It may also be used for self-reflexology treatment, as hands are more accessible than the feet. Giving hand Reflexology is more flexible in terms of place of treatment, it can be carried out at any time or any place (within reason!)
Applying pressure to specific reflex points may help to relieve stress or tension and to aid healing in specific ailments in between treatments. The effects are the same as foot reflexology but the area treated is smaller and the points are more condensed.
