The shoulder tops, chest, lungs, heart and upper back are all represented on the area just below the knuckles of the hands and on the midfoot. This area should remind us of the upper torso of the human body. Interestingly, pressure points of internal organs such as the liver, pancreas, heart and diaphragm are all located in the inside of the palm or on the soles of the feet as if it is the 'inside' of the body. And if the therapist learns that this is the first time that the person is taking the session, and then the practitioner may explain the nature of the therapy and the benefits. It is here when the practitioner will explain that reflexology is just a complementary therapy and that this will not solve all medical and health woes. Based on her observations, she said that the tension that can be felt in the foot can also be mirrored in the tension on another part of the body. In a way, during that time she managed to make that connection between organs to the foot area. Now using this kind of thinking, she said that by treating some of areas of the feet then the pains that are felt by the organ can be diminished as well. Directly below that point, on the stem of the big toe is the area where the parathyroid and thyroid glands are represented. Put enough pressure on this area to relieve thyroid and parathyroid problems such as metabolism issues. It is also important to get the doctor's diagnoses before making up your own therapies and lose precious time pressing the wrong points. If there are some concerns that are being felt hours after the session, then it is the duty of the patient to send feedback to the therapist. Minutes or even hours after the session has ended, the person should also be aware of the many reactions and signs in the body that can be felt. Here are some of these reactions that are associated to treatment: The person may feel enhanced energy after the session, or the person may feel that strong desire to sleep. A Typical Reflexology Session Reflexology is a good way to have a relaxing treatment that could possibly have a medically sound effect on one's health. It goes a long way back in history from different cultures and continents and principles are the same: pressure points on both hands and feet can ease tension when applied with correct amount of pressure.
