Reflexology basically applies pressure on certain pressure points to help release strain. This means that it can also be called pressure point massage, which attempts to release developed pressure and sprain in the body and muscles.

Du impulse supervises Yang of the body. Tai Yang channels manage the surface of human body. On both the sides of the spine as well as at the back there are a vast number of acupuncture points. These points can be stimulated by massaging the back. Pressure point massages’ function to poise Yin and Yang, supporting the healthy factors and taking away the pathogenic factors, regulating Qi and blood, scouring the main and collateral channels of the body and enhancing the functions of internal organs.
