You may have heard of reflexology. It’s a remarkable type of pressure therapy that has a wide range of health benefits. Most people are unfamiliar with reflexology, so it isn’t the first thing they think of to help relieve pain and other symptoms, but it can be quite effective. Here’s a quick overview of reflexology and a rundown of the many ways it can help you.
Reflexology targets specific zones in the foot to help balance function in other parts of the body. It’s an ancient therapy that uses the energy running through the body and the nervous system that connects that energy, to address specific imbalances that can cause pain and other symptoms. It sounds simple, but it requires the work of a specially trained massage therapist to be effective.
Because it works with the nervous system in your entire body, there’s an incredibly vast range of symptoms that it can help alleviate. Here are just a few examples.

Stress and anxiety reduction
