- What is Reflexology? Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch, and movement to the feet and hands. It is intended to affect corresponding parts of the body. Reflexologists view the feet and hands as a mirror image of the body. By applying various techniques a reflexologist can break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body. How does reflexology work? There are many theories but in my approach, I look at the nervous system as the reason for reflexology's working. Pressure applied to the feet generates a signal through the entire nervous system. From there, the signal enters the central nervous system where it is processed by various parts of the brain. Then, it is relayed to the internal organs to direct the necessary adjustments in fuel and oxygen. Lastly, a message is formed that is sent onto the motor system. This message is programmed to adjust the body's tone or overall tension level. If applied properly, the tone will reset its elf to a lower operating level. A lower operating level means a lessening of stress and less wear and tear on the body's systems. Where do you apply this technique? It is applied primarily to the feet and hands. It could be argued that all bodywork is reflexive and is, therefore, reflexology. The extremities have a powerful influence because of locomotion. Therefore, the most effective focus is found to be in the feet and hands.
