The most common form is foot reflexology, in which the reflexologist applies pressure to points on a person's foot. The foot is believed by practitioners and participants to be divided into a number of re ...

Reflexology: Encyclopedia II - Reflexology - Current status

Reflexology is a widespread practice in Asia, where foot reflexology (also known as foot massage) is quite popular. Although many people are skeptical about the concepts underlying this practice, its use is spreading, perhaps because it is being taken simply as a relaxing massage therapy. It is not the practice that reflexologists use foot reflexology only, they prefer to use a combination of foot, hand and e ...

Reflexology: Encyclopedia - Chiropractic

Chiropractic, also known as chiropractic care, is a health care discipline that claims to prevent and treat health problems by using spinal adjustments in order to correct spinal dysfunction, or subluxations. Chiropractic asserts that the brain and nervous system control and coordinate all the body's functions in part through nerve branches that exit from the spinal cord between the vertebrae. Some Chiropractors infer a causal relationship between nerve interference or compression at the spine and subsequent problems in more dis ...

Reflexology: Encyclopedia - Acupressure

Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine bodywork technique based on the same ideas as acupuncture. It involves placing physical pressure, by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices, on different pressure points on the surface of the body (which may be far distant from the symptom, related by what is called the meridian system) to bring about relief through greater balance and circulation of fluids (blood, lymph) and metabolic energies in the body (heat, qi). It is intended to help balance the systems of the body in ord ...

Reflexology: Encyclopedia - Quackery

Quackery is the practice of promoting medicine which lacks evidence of effectiveness. The word derives from quacksalver, an archaic word originally of Dutch origin (spelled kwakzalver in contemporary Dutch), meaning "boaster who applies a salve." It is often difficult to distinguish between those who knowingly promote unproven medical therapies and those who are mistaken as to their effectiveness. In libel cases in US courts against people who accused others of being guilty of quackery, the co ...

Reflexology: Natural Health Therapy Dictionary on Reflexology

REFLEXOLOGY: A healing art generally used to promote relaxation and to improve health, reflexology is a technique of applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears.

 

The method is most commonly used on the feet, largely because they have so many nerve endings and so are quite sensitive. Reflexologists believe that the foot functions as a microcosm of the entire body, and that reference points or reflex areas in the foot correspond to all the major organs, glands, and parts of the body.

Reflexology: Holistic Health Therapy Dictionary on Reflexology

REFLEXOLOGY: based on the idea that specific points on the feet and hands correspond with organs and tissues throughout the body. With fingers and thumbs, the practitioner applies pressure to these points to treat a wide range of stress-related illnesses and ailments.

 

Reflexology is therapeutic and is generally complementary to massage.  Reflexology is the application of specific pressure to reflex points in the feet and hands.  The primary benefits of reflexology result from the generalized relaxation of the entire body, as well as from the balancing effect on specific organs, glands, zones, or body regions.  This is believed to help in the detoxification of the body as well as assisting in its return to a calm state.

 

Theory of reflexology

When the organs are not functioning normally, the neural signals along the network change patterns.  Such changes can be detected and monitored through the reflex points.  Chemistry at these points sometimes change as well, in the form of hard painful spots (called uric acid crystals).  These crystals may form at points that correspond to the organ, or area of the body.

 

Technique of reflexology

Occasionally, when rubbing or pressing firmly on these spots, the feeling of a "pop" or bursting apart, can be detected.  They feel grainy or gritty like sand or sugar.  After the spot dissipates, the area becomes less tender and the organ corresponding to this reflex points also functions better.
