Reflexology

"The only real failure in life is the failure to try." ~ Jamie Paolinetti

Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet with specific thumb, finger, and hand technique without use of oil or lotion based on a system of zones and areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet, with a premise that such work effects a physical change in the body. -- Kunz and Kunz

Vibrant Health

Reflexology is a therapeutic method of relieving pain by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. -- Medical Dictionery


  • Traces of Reflexology are found about 4000 BC in China.
  • Egyptian Cave Painting depicts some sort of Reflexology by Hand Massage & Foot Massage.
  • Zone Therapy was rediscovered by Dr William Fitzgerald.
  • Eunice Ingham, the modern day poineer developed her Foot Reflexology theory from Zone Therapy.




Zone Therapy

As may be seen in the illustration, the first zone starts from thumb and through the arms go to the middle of the head and down to the big toe through the middle of the body. Similarly, each finger or toe represents a zone.

According to zone therapy, all body parts in the same zone are said to be linked through energy flow and if there is any congestion in that part of zone, the whole zone gets affected.

Zone Therapy was developed into Foot Reflexology by Eunice Ingham. Since then Foot Reflexology has been spreading fast.
Some Practitioners now-a-days prefer Hand Reflexology and some Foot Reflexology.



A Typical Reflexology session

First Reflexology Session generally takes 50-60 minutes and subsequent sessions take 30-40 minutes. The reflexologist probably asks about your medical history and your life-style.

Then they 'work' the entire area of both feet, some reflexologists may work the hands. The young or elderly will generally be given shorter treatments so that the body systems are not over stimulated. During the session you may feel different sensations in your feet, it may feel like a sharp pain or your feet may feel very sensitive. Sensitivity varies from person to person and from treatment to treatment. But generally the session will be calming and comforting; it will not tickle since it is a firm pressure to the feet. The practitioner will adjust the pressure to suit you.
