Developed in the United States in the 1900's, reflexology has been known in China as a healing therapy for many thousands of years. It was first known in the United States as Zone Therapy and is based on the belief that there are reflex points on the feet (and hands) that correspond to parts of the body (e.g. internal organs and joints). When pressure is applied to those parts of the feet (or hands), it will have direct effects on corresponding parts of the body - the brain sends a signal to the corresponding part of the body to facilitate healing and to restore balance.

I frequently incorporate reflexology into a treatment session, especially for relaxation massage/stress relief and injury treatment.
