It is a holistic therapy used for health management and maintenance and can also be used as a health and personality analysis tool.
Zones are invisible lines of energy that run longitudinally along the body.
Working with these lines or sections is known as zone therapy, which many say is just another name for reflexology. If a therapist is making you uncomfortable, no matter what they are calling their practice, you should let them know. Remember that you are paying someone to help you, not to help them prove a point. There is something very deeply relaxing about a foot reflexology treatment. Most of my clients cannot stay conscious after a few minutes into their treatment and will doze off or enter a trance-like state of relaxation.
