what is reflexology?
Reflexology is a therapy based on the principle that there are
small and specific areas of innervation in the hands and feet
that correspond to specific muscle groups or organs of the
body. In this system, the nerve endings in the extremities provide
a “map” of the rest of the body; i.e., the base of the little toe
represents the ear, or the ball of the foot represents the lung.
By applying pressure on particular areas of the hands or feet,
reflexology is said to promote benefits such as the relaxation
of muscles, easing of tensions, and improved circulation. This
type of therapy also supports normalized function of each
corresponding area of the body.

endings found in your feet or hands. Based on the principals of
reflexology, it is conceivable that massaging your feet or
hands regularly with our massagers can affect all these reflex
spots simultaneously. It’s no wonder that when you finish a

Using the charts on the following cards, identify the reflexology
point on your foot or hand that is linked to the area of
discomfort. Apply gentle pressure to that area. The pressure
you apply to these spots will stimulate your body to create
endorphins that interrupt the pain cycle and relieve stress.
The pressure you apply should feel firm, but not painful. Use your
fingers and thumbs to gently work the area for several minutes.
