First, well go over some of the basics to give you a better idea of what reflexology is. It is sometimes referred to as zone therapy, and more often than not, it is used as a type of complementary therapy to conventional medical treatments.
It is very different from other forms of therapy, as it focuses upon the manipulation of the nerves that are found in the feet, hands and the ears in order to help other parts of the body.
The reflexologist generally uses their thumbs and fingers to manipulate specific zones located on the feet, hands, and eras in order to address a specific problem.
Different zones of the feet, hands, and ears are known to correspond to helping specific different parts of the body, and many reflexologists keep charts that help to illustrate exactly which parts of the feet that they should focus on in order to treat a specific problem.
There are numerous positive health effects that individuals report after they receive reflexology treatment.
Amongst the many benefits include a decreased level of stress, as well as a higher level of energy, increased circulation, and a boosted immune system.

Some contend that the practice works by helping to correct energy levels throughout the body.
Others believe that the manipulation of the nerves in the feet helps to break up stress patterns that may be present in other parts of the body since there are around seven thousand nerves in the feet alone.
Still others claim that reflexology techniques help the body to release neurotransmitters in order to help the individual to feel better. Although there are many different hypothesis, science has been unable to accurately explain how reflexology works as of the writing of this article.
