Foot and Palm Reflexology
Traditional Therapies
About This Treatment
Reflexology is a complementary therapy in which pressure is applied to specific areas of the feet, hands, or sometimes ears. Traditional reflexology maps these areas to different body regions or organs. The commonly taught reflexology theory proposes that stimulating a particular “reflex area” may influence the corresponding body region. Important: These organ-reflex maps are based primarily on traditional reflexology practice. There is not strong scientific evidence that pressing a particular foot or hand point directly affects or treats a specific internal organ. Reflexology may nevertheless be used as a relaxation and wellbeing technique, and some people report reduced stress or improved subjective comfort.
