Reflexologists

| KAREN FAWCETT |
| Reflexology, or
zone therapy, is a complementary therapy, intended for use
alongside conventional medical care and not as a replacement. It
is the practice of stimulating nerves on the feet, hands and
ears, in order to encourage a beneficial effect on some other
parts of the body, or to try to improve general health.
Reflexology is most commonly performed on the feet, moving on to
the hands and/or ears where physical restraints
(contraindications), such as veruccas or fractures, apply.
There is no one fixed theory to explain reflexology. All
practitioners believe that areas on the foot correspond to areas
of the body, and that reflexology assists the self-healing
process. Some practitioners believe these zones to reflect the
energy (Qi) body, and that blockages of energy in the body are
reflected through "grit" or "lumps" on the foot. A therapist
will apply pressure in the form of relaxing massage to these
areas, in order to stimulate the corresponding area and thereby
remove blockages in the energy body.
Contrary to some beliefs, reflexology does not seek to
diagnose or cure medical conditions - merely imbalances in the
life energy or Qi of the body. There are concerns over the
efficacy of this treatment, and about the safety of using such a
therapy instead of conventional medicine, which have resulted in
some studies to investigate reflexology.
