Reflexology For Joint and Muscle Pain

Reflexology has been defined as the application of pressure with the thumb and forefinger on reflexive points on the feet and on the hands to stimulate occurrences within the body. This stimulation has been shown to cause physiological changes within the body and should not be confused with massage. There is one large difference between reflexology and massage, massage treats the underlying area that is being affected - whereas in reflexology the area being worked on causes changes in a different area within the body.
