What is Reflexology Therapy?

Reflexology is a therapeutic modality that applies gentle pressure to designated points on the feet, hands, and ears to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. This form of therapy is also known as zone therapy due its emphasis on applying relief based off different regions within the body.

How it Works

Although there’s no unanimous consensus concerning the precise mechanism of reflexology, it is generally believed that applying pressure to certain points on the feet can influence related organs in our body. This concept implies that each area of the foot corresponds to a particular body organ.

For example, the Zone Theory divides the foot and body into five, distinct zones. The big toe lies in zone 1 with the pinky toe lying at its end in zone 5. In turn, all 10 zones extend from head to foot beginning with the center of the left and right side (zone 1) and leading up to their respective sides (zone 5). Here’s where it gets interesting: depending on which part of your feet you press – be it one or any other number – can alleviate pain where that area meets your body!
