Reflexology,
or zone therapy, is the practice of stimulating points on the
feet, hands and ears, in order to encourage a beneficial effect on some
other parts of the body, or to try to improve general health.
Reflexology is most commonly performed on the feet, moving on to the
hands and/or ears where physical restraints, such as veruccas or
fractures, apply.
Practitioners believe the foot to be divided into a number of reflex zones corresponding to all zones of the energy of the body, and that applying pressure in the form of massage to "tight" or "gritty" areas of a person's foot will stimulate the corresponding part of the energy body and assist the self-healing process. Contrary to some beliefs, reflexology does not seek to diagnose or cure medical conditions - merely imbalances in the energy of the body. |
