This PDF is essential for those who want to learn how to perform reflexology on family and friends or for those pursuing a career in reflexology and other medically related occupations that require an understanding of anatomy and physiology. By learning these simple relaxation techniques, you will be able to perform professional reflexology treatments using different patterns in a full hand and foot reflexology session that target specific body systems. Reflexology is a therapy that utilizes gentle pressure to manipulate the feet or hands with the understanding that pressure applied to specific points can benefit other body systems. Up to 75% of all health problems are linked to stress. Reflexology offers a natural solution for stress release.

Reflex points also known as Accupoints are located in small depressions, or hollows between bones, muscles or tendons. There is a slight sensitivity and a specific electrical property at each of the reflex points that differ from the surrounding tissue. When the reflex points are stimulated, chemical messengers; endorphins, are released throughout the entire body/mind. Endorphins have the same effect as morphine when it comes to pain. Endorphins seem to work by blocking the transmission of pain impulses from one neuron to another.    

Meridians are the ten equal longitudinal segments; zones, running the length of the body, which conveniently match to the number of toes and fingers. For example zone one incorporates the thumb, extends up the arm into the shoulders and neck to the brain, and then down the body to the big toe. Each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings (reflexes), which correspond to every organ system within the body. By stimulating these reflex points displayed on the map signals are sent and received from the nervous system prompting the body’s natural healing abilities.
