Reflexology

Reflexology: Ancient Healing for Modern Wellness

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice rooted in ancient traditions, dating back thousands of years to civilizations such as Egypt, China, and India. It is based on the principle that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By applying precise pressure to these reflex points, reflexology stimulates the body’s natural healing processes and promotes balance between body, mind, and spirit.

How does reflexology work?

The feet and hands contain reflex zones that mirror the entire body’s anatomy. When these zones are gently manipulated, they encourage improved circulation, reduce tension, and help clear energetic blockages. This stimulation supports the nervous system and activates the body’s own ability to heal, detoxify, and restore equilibrium.

What happens during the session?

During a reflexology session at AG Massage & Reflexology, Anna uses skilled, targeted pressure and massage techniques on your feet (and optionally hands), focusing on areas that correspond to your specific health needs. The treatment is deeply relaxing and often induces a meditative state, helping to calm the mind and nourish emotional well-being alongside physical health.
