Reflexology and Meridians

Many complementary therapies use the concept of energy - the flow of a ‘life force’ through the body. Traditional Chinese medicine describes this energy as flowing through specific routes or pathways known as meridians, similarly to the way blood is carried around our bodies by arteries and veins. Good health is reliant on the energy flowing uninterrupted and freely through the body.

Six of the main meridians start or end in the feet and therefore knowledge of meridian theory enhances the reflexology treatment by activation of the appropriate energy pathways to achieve and maintain healthy balance within the body.
