Reflexology is a therapeutic form of foot massage whose benefits affect the entire body.
It has been practiced in China and Egypt since ancient times. The goal of reflexologists is to restore balance to the human body. They do this by applying pressure to specific areas, or zones, on the feet. These zones correspond to the internal organs and systems of the human body. Reflexologists believe that if an organ or tissue is impaired, the corresponding reflex zone on the foot will be sensitive to external pressure.
