Reflexology. Computer artwork of the hands of a reflexologist massaging a patients foot. Reflexology is a form of alternative medicine in which massage is employed to certain points of the feet. Energy is believed to flow through the body along meridians that have their terminal points in the feet. A healthy flow and balance of energy through these meridians is believed to be responsible for good health. Reflex points on the feet are believed to correspond to 720,000 nerve endings. These in turn are connected to body parts and internal organs within the major body cavities, and the head and neck regions within the body.
