Reflexology Defined

• Defining reflexology correctly, is vital for the
  reflexology profession. This will help educate
  the public and delineate guidelines as to what it
  can and cannot do. As a practitioner and educator
  in reflexology for close to 40 years, I will
  present my definition, and share a few other
  definitions defined by prominent reflexology
  agencies and associations.

1) REFLEXOLOGY DEFINED BY DAVID ALLAN

• Reflexology is a practice based on the principal
  that manual pressure with specific thumb and
  finger techniques applied to the hands and feet
  will create physiological, chemical and emotional
  changes throughout the body. In Reflexology, an
  overlay of the body image is positioned over both
  the hands and feet. Stimulation to hand and foot
  points reflexively affect corresponding body
  parts and can have positive health benefits.

• At face value we have appendages with five digits
  attached that are made for touching, feeling,
  standing and walking. Looking more closely at the
  hands and feet, an entire world emerges. There is
  a display of lines, colors, toe and finger
  shapes, skin texture and temperature, as well as
  sensations as pressure is applied. Healthy hands
  and feet should not be tender to firm pressure
  and when they are, its a warning sign that the
  health of the hands and feet or the overall body
  is compromised.

• From a holistic perspective, the body functions
  as a whole and is therefore affected by
  everything we do and say. Reflexologists not only
  see and evaluate the body through the body image
  on the hands and feet, their direct application
  of pressure to specific points reflexively
  affects the entire body.
• Reflexology is versatile and simple to use as a
  self-help modality. It is a wellness and
  therapeutic practice that brings relief to many
  ailments and provides important sensory
  stimulation at the point of application. It is
  non-invasive and provides nourishing pressure and
  joint movements to everyday abused hands and
  feet, relieving them of local pent-up stress and
  globally reducing stress levels throughout the
  body.

2) DEFINED BY THE REFLEXOLOGY ASSOCIATION OF
AMERICA (RAA)

• Reflexology is the systematic, manual stimulation
  of the reflex maps located on the feet, hands and
  outer ears that resembles a shape of the human
  body. Visit RAA HERE.

3) DEFINED BY THE AMERICAN REFLEXOLOGY
CERTIFICATION BOARD (ARCB)

• Reflexology is a holistic discipline using the
  hands to apply alternating and firm pressures to
  the feet, hands or ears to stimulate
  physiological changes in the body through
  reflexes and the nervous system. Visit ARCB HERE.
