Hence different parts of the body can be treated by manipulating different pressure points in the feet. A reflexology practitioner manipulates these pressure points in the feet.  With over 7,000 nerve endings, the foot is suited to this sensitive manipulation. These pressure points stimulate neural pathways and open meridians in the body. Stimulating the body’s own natural healing process. Foot massage eases pain, reduces stress, promotes relaxation and improves circulation
