Reflexology is a type of therapy that uses gentle pressure on specific points along your feet ( and possibly on your hands or ear as well) to help you feel better. The theory is that this eases stress, and that help your body work better. It's also known as zone therapy. The way reflexology connects spots on the outside of your body to the inside is a bit like acupuncture and acupressure. But those therapies use points all over your body, not just on your feet, hands, and ear. And while reflexologist do use their hands, it isn't a form of massage. Like those other therapies, though, reflexology is complementary to medical treatments. It can be done alongside traditional care, but it's not an alternative to it, and reflexologist don't diagnose or treat illnesses. Reflexology may help you feel less stressed, ore relaxed, and more energized. But the benefits might go deeper if you have certain health issues. Some people with medical conditions find that they feel less pain and discomfort if they have less stress, and reflexology may help with that.What you can expect during a reflexology session: to get to know you and make sure that reflexology is right for you, the therapies will start by asking questions about your health, what you eat, your lifestyle, and any conditions you have. Your answers will help them decide whether to work on your feet, hands, ears, or a combination of those. This is the time to ask any questions you have. Many reflexologist will begin by gently smoothing oil or cream on your feet. Next, they will put mild to moderate pressure on one foot at a time using different techniques. They might return to certain pressure points a second time, but they will cover the entire area during the session, not just the points connected to any trouble spots you might have.
