What is Reflexology?

Whenever you get a massage, "reflexology" is an add-on. I never knew what it was, but I always wondered "why no foot rub?" when I got my massage.

Hey guess what? Reflexology is the foot rub (and hand rub). Wish I'd known this before now!

According to reflexology-research.com:

Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hand with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. it is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.


Yeah, you've seen that chart before. I actually got a foot massage once in San Francisco in chinatown after walking a few miles. I saw a similar chart up on the wall. The guy was all about pushing, squeezing and rubbing all the different "zones" (sounds dirty doesn't it?). The picture on the wall was too far for me to see what was what, but I know I walked out feeling like I was walking on clouds.
