Reflexology is an ancient practice used as therapy used for over 5000 years.(as long ago as 2330 BC,) It’s based on the theory that different points on the face, hands and feet correspond with different areas of the body and that working on these reflex points stimulates the nervous system, opening up energy pathways that may be blocked or congested. Hand reflexology differs from foot reflexology in that the reflexes are generally smaller than on the feet, and very specific pressure may be required to receive the same amount of benefit. But there is an advantage to working the neck reflexes in the hand, located in the fingers, because they are much larger and easier to maneuver than their foot reflexology counterparts, the toes. Hand reflexology also helps with local hand conditions, such as arthritic stiffness and pain.
