Reflexology Tools

Tools for reflexology have become increasingly available as reflexology increases in popularity year by year as the benefits of reflexology tools become discovered. Anyone who has visited a reflex therapist understands the benefits of reflexology massage.
This ancient therapy has been used for thousands of years to provide relief from tension and pain and to restore balance to the body.

* Reflexology pressure point charts, also known as reflexology foot charts, illustrate the reflex positions on the feet and hands.
* Hand-held rollers feature ribbed wheels and can be used to stimulate the hands and feet with minimal effort.
* Reflex probes allow users to concentrate pressure in tough-to-reach areas, such as between the fingers and toes, or to focus on reaching deeper tissue.
* Reflex foot rollers feature large and small projections for stimulating pressure points or acupressure. They can be used by placing them on the floor and rolling the sole of the foot over them - especially helpful for those who have difficulty reaching their feet.
There are a different types of foot rollers including the standard foot roller for reflexology as well as the single roller foot roller.
* Reflex clamps are beneficial for applying steady pressure to fingers and toes, as well as the areas between, without stressing the joints and muscles of the hands.
