HAND REFLEXOLOGY CHART Reflexology can be applied to the hands, feet and ears. There are strategic points located in these parts of the body that reflect in our internal organs through electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain when we stimulate them.

When you look at the sole of your feet, you probably just see feet, however, as a reflexologist, when I look at the soles of feet, I see a map of the body, organs and glands.
The original foot maps were drawn in the 1930s by Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist, student and advocate for zone therapy. Zone therapy showed that parts of the body corresponded to other parts by applying pressure to one area, it anaesthetised a corresponding area. Knowing this, Eunice felt that the feet should be specifically targeted because of their highly sensitive nature. This enabled her to chart the feet in relation to the zones and their effects on the rest of the anatomy, until she had evolved on the feet themselves, a map of the entire body.
Today, as the maps are not an anatomical representation of the body, reflexology maps differ slightly from one another, depending on their author.
