Reflexology: Agony of De-Feet (and Hands)

Reflexology is a fascinating practice that involves massage-like therapies on the body to induce specific physical responses in the patient. Reflexologists use pressure and rubbing techniques much like massage therapists do. But the reflexologist is limited to the hands and feet, where a massage therapist concentrates on the entire body.

Reflexologists go by reflexology charts to pinpoint specific parts of the feet and hands that are linked to specific parts of the body. Reflexology charts are much like the charts used by acupuncturists. And this makes sense in part because some reflexologists are trying to change a patient’s Qi, much in the same way acupuncturists do. Like acupuncture and to some degree, massage therapy, there is little conclusive scientific evidence of the efficacy of reflexology. But this does not stop people from seeking the treatment for mild and sometimes even severe illnesses.
