Foot reflexology is especially popular since there are 15,000 nerves in your feet alone, making them especially sensitive to touch. It is an ancient healing form that is still considered effective today. The essential principle is that points on your hand and feet correspond to body organs and systems. By applying pressure to a specific point, any physical problem can be addressed. Most people simply enjoy having a trained therapist make their overworked feet and hands feel rejuvenated and pampered.
