What is Reflexology Massage?

It is also called zone therapy because pressure to specific points on the feet, ears, and hands is being applied. It belongs into the category of alternative medicine and it utilizes specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil, cream or lotion based on a system of zones and reflex areas.  These specific zones reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change in the body.

“Reflexology therapies are natural therapeutic methods derived from this study based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map neurologically to other parts, glands, and organs of the body.” More about the Reflexology Definition
