Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hand with thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas on the feet and hand that correspond to organs in the body. The premise is that massaging particular areas of the feet and hand will induce a positive physical benefit to specific organs and to the body in general.
History of Reflexology
Massager
Archeological evidence from Egypt, China, and Japan reveals that ancient reflexology medical systems existed. In the West, the concept of reflexology began to emerge in the 19th century based on research on the nervous system and reflexes. While there is no direct evidence of direct cross-fertilization from ancient times, the practice of reflexology in a variety of cultures, historical periods, and belief systems indicates that reflexology is a factor in promoting health.

How does Reflexology work?
There are many theories as to how reflexology works but we will focus on the nervous system to explain the workings of reflexology.
Our feet and hands contain pressure sensors that are a part of the body's reflexive response that makes possible the "fight or flight" reaction to danger. An example of this adrenaline surge is our ability to withstand or "forget" temporary pain in dangerous situations.
Pressure is applied to the feet and hands using specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques. Stretch and movement techniques are used to provide relaxation to the feet and hand. Oil, cream, and lotions are not used in traditional reflexology work.
Proponents of reflexology claim:
- The body is divided into 10 longitudinal zones - five on each side of the body.
- Each organ or part of the body is represented on the feet and hands.
- A reflexology practitioner can diagnose abnormalities by feeling the feet and hands.
- Massaging each area stimulates the flow of energy, nutrients, blood, and nerve impulses to the corresponding body zone to relieve ailments in that zone.
Proponents claim that foot reflexology can cleanse the body of toxins, improve circulation, and improve the health of organs throughout the body. With the modern technology nowadays, you can find a lot of good Shiatsu Foot Massagers
Non-believers of reflexology claim:
- Reflexology is subjective and based on a placebo effect.
- There is no solid evidence of improved health as a direct result of reflexology.
- Reflexology cannot directly cure certain health problems.
- Reflexology is just another form of massage therapy with limited effectiveness.
- Paying - 0 for a foot massage is too expensive.
The Bottom Line of foot reflexology
Reflexology is a popular alternative therapy based on the idea that pressure points on the feet and hand correspond to reflex zones that are connected to every internal organ and body zone.
Proponents believe that reflexology stimulates body zones and organs therefore resulting in improved health or maintenance of good health. Opponents argue that the benefits resulting from reflexology are just placebo effects so it's all psychological. In other words, reflexology is just a glorified word for massage therapy.
While reflexology can promote comfort and relaxation and possibly promote well being, there are many factors in determining good health such as diet, exercise, genes, and whether or not you smoke. If you feel you're getting direct benefits from reflexology, then you should continue and enjoy this alternative therapy.
