Reflexology

Reflexology is like a massage for your feet and hands that can make you feel relaxed and better. It works by pressing or massaging certain parts of your feet or hands that correspond with different parts of your body like your heart, stomach, or lungs.

Let's say you have a headache. A reflexologist might press on a certain part of your foot that corresponds with your head. Your body feels the pressure and sends a message to your brain to make you feel better.

Reflexology can also help improve blood flow, reduce stress, and help with pain in different parts of your body. It's like a little secret trick to feel better!
