Reflexology aims to mobilize the body’s self-healing processes. It is practiced by exerting sustained pressure, with the fingertips, on areas or reflex points located on the feet. These points correspond to organs or organic functions. Reflexology is not a massage technique, even if it may look like it at first sight. It would be more related to shiatsu. Reflexology does not claim to cure specific ailments. Rather, it seeks to bring some relief to all kinds of ailments: headaches or backaches, premenstrual syndrome, stress, respiratory disorders, etc.
