what is foot reflexology massage

Foot reflexology is a form of massage therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the foot. It is based on the theory that these points are connected to certain organs and body systems, and that applying pressure to them offers a range of health benefits. Reflexology is also known as zone therapy and is considered an alternative medical practice. It is done using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques without the use of oil or lotion. Reflexology is believed to promote relaxation, reduce pain, and relieve stress in other parts of the body through the manipulation of the feet. However, there is no convincing scientific evidence that reflexology is effective for any medical condition
