  ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY


It’s all about your hands and your feet!

Your feet and hands are more sensitive than most people realize. Very much like how we use our eyes to detect light, your hands and feet detect pressure, stretch, movement and weight distribution. Reflexology is defined as, “A natural healing art, based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body.” By stimulating and applying pressure to your feet or hands, you are increasing circulation and promoting specific bodily and muscular functions. Kevin Kunz, one of the pioneers of reflexology, puts it best -- "Imagine stepping on a tack. Your whole body reacts because of something perceived all the way down at the foot.”

Doctors agree that over 75% of our health problems can be linked to nervous stress and tension.


Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage. Revive Reflexology specializes in the use of the Ingham Method® of Reflexology, and this technique is used primarily for relaxing tension. A body trying to function while under the influence of prolonged stress is less capable of organizing its defenses against illnesses and repairing damage caused by injury.
Reflexology moves the body towards better functioning by improving circulation, stimulation to the nerve pathways, and muscle relaxation.
