Reflexology

Being a footfanatic, I have always thought that reflexology and me would be a match made in heaven. Notsomuch. Reflexology, or zone therapy, is the practice of stimulating points on the feet, hands and ears, in order to encourage a beneficial effect on some other parts of the body, or to try to improve general health. Reflexology is most commonly performed on the feet, moving on to the hands and/or ears where physical restraints, such as veruccas or fractures, apply.

Practitioners believe the foot to be divided into a number of reflex zones corresponding to all zones of the energy of the body, and that applying pressure in the form of massage to “tight” or “gritty” areas of a person’s foot will stimulate the corresponding part of the energy body and assist the self-healing process. Contrary to some beliefs, reflexology does not seek to diagnose or cure medical conditions – merely imbalances in the energy of the body.** From Wikpedia.com

My final determination has concluded that the non-pressured pressure doesn’t really seem worthwhile to spend and entire hour on while my feet get stretched and moved around and find that most massage therapists will actually incorporate elements of reflexology into the massage appointment. And after experiencing it firsthand, I realize that my dentist Dr Tank’s nurse actually uses reflexology on my ear while the dentist is injecting my gums with the numbing agent. Interesting!
