Reflexology Reflexology, or zone therapy, is the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes the hands and ears, with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to improve general health. There is no broad consensus on how reflexology does or could work in practice; the one unifying theme is the claim that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these on can improve health. Some practitioners believe these zones reflect energy (Qi), and that blockages of energy in the body are reflected through "grit" or "lumps" on the foot. (Qi) or (Ki) is a fundamental concept of traditional Chinese culture. Qi is believed to be part of every living thing that exists, as a kind of "life force" or "spiritual energy". It is frequently translated as "energy flow", or literally as "air" or "breath". |
