Reflexology is an ancient therapy that uses pressure points on the feet, hands, and ears to promote healing and relaxation. It has been proven effective in relieving stress, anxiety, and pain, among other conditions. If you’re interested in trying reflexology, it’s important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner to ensure you receive the best possible treatment.
Here are some tips on how to choose a reflexologist:
- Research the practitioner’s credentials
