Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet, head, and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, and sometimes even the ears, with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.Reflexology not only promotes deep relaxation, but is known to have numerous health benefits.
A reflexology map helps a reflexologist identify which part of the foot corresponds to a certain body part, and that they should apply pressure to. By intensely stimulating the reflex points on the feet, reflexology can help to clear energy blockages and help stimulate the body’s own natural healing abilities. A foot reflexology map plays an essential role in understanding the foot reflex points and how they correspond to specific areas of the body’s anatomy.
