Reflexology is a complementary therapy that is not only a science but also an art (1).
 

Becoming a fully qualified Reflexologist demands lots of study and a minimum of one hundred practice treatments.
 

Remember, reflexology is a complementary therapy, which means that it works alongside medical treatments. Reflexology does not cure a chronic condition.
