Reflexology is a therapy that has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is based on the stimulation of specific points on the feet that correspond to different areas and organs of the body. TCM holds that the flow of vital energy, known as Qi (pronounced “ chi”), travels through the body through channels called meridians. At Spa Natural Center, we offer a personalized approach to this technique, helping our clients relieve stress, improve physical well-being and achieve a state of energetic balance.
What is Reflexology?
Originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine, reflexology is based on the idea that the feet contain reflex points that connect to different body systems through energy meridians. By stimulating these points through controlled pressure, reflexology seeks to activate the flow of Qi in the body, promoting an overall balance that benefits both physical and emotional well-being.
At Spa Natural Center, our therapists, trained in traditional Chinese techniques, identify the specific points that correspond to the health areas of each client. This therapy allows you to work safely and effectively to reduce tension, improve circulation, relieve pain and stimulate the body’s self-healing processes.
