What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a therapeutic practice based on the principle that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs, glands, and systems throughout the body. By applying precise pressure to these reflex points, a trained reflexologist can stimulate healing responses in the corresponding body areas, improve energy flow, and restore balance to the body's natural functions.
Rooted in ancient Chinese and Egyptian traditions dating back over 4,000 years, modern reflexology was systematized in the early 20th century. The feet contain over 7,000 nerve endings, making them incredibly responsive to touch. A reflexology chart maps how different zones of the foot connect to organs — the big toe relates to the head, the ball of the foot to the chest and lungs, the arch to digestive organs, and the heel to the lower back and pelvis.
