Reflexology

Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and, in some traditions, the hands with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of zones or reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.

While no direct evidence exists that the premises behind reflexology are fact, many people claim to gain great therapeutic benefits from reflexology's techniques. There is no consensus on how reflexology is supposed to work.
