There is research showing that the specific techniques of reflexology can be effective and beneficial in many ways, impacting a variety of psychological and physical concerns. Reflexology is said to create relaxation, ease pain, aid in post operative recovery, and improve blood flow. The benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. The hands and feet help set the tension level for the rest of the body so they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset the equilibrium of our bodies.
