How Does Reflexology Work?
The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are certain points or “reflex areas” on the feet, hands and ears that are connected energetically to specific organs and body parts through energy channels in the body.
By applying pressure to reflex areas, a reflexologist is said to remove energy blockages and promote health in the related body area. Here are some examples of reflex areas and their corresponding body parts:
- The tips of the toes reflect the head
- The heart and chest are around the ball of the foot
- The liver, pancreas, and kidney are in the arch of the foot
- Low back and intestines are towards the heel
According to reflexologists, pressure on the reflex points also helps to balance the nervous system and stimulates the release of endorphins that help to reduce pain and stress.

Sound vibrations cause your cells to “puff” out nitric oxide, a molecule that’s produced naturally by the body to dilate blood vessels and relax muscle tissue. This brings your reflexology session to a whole new level.
