Reflexology
Reflexology is a complementary therapy in which one small area of the body (usually the feet) is used as a map of the whole body. Massaging particular pressure points in this area can trigger a response in the corresponding part of the body. Reflexology is not foot massage but can be very relaxing. I practice 'Reflex Zone Therapy' which is a specific clinical style of reflexology suited to maternity care.
