Reflexology is gentle manipulation or pressing on certain parts of the foot to produce an effect elsewhere in the body. It is the application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to the body. Reflexologists propose that the blockage of an energy field, or Qi (pronounced Chee), can prevent healing.
Reflexology can relieve stress and pain in other parts of the body through the manipulation of the feet. The pressure received in the feet may send signals that “balance” the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce stress and pain.
