Similar to a standard back massage, reflexology is an application of pressure to specific parts of the feet or hands, and it's thought to alleviate stress, according to the Nivriti Spa. In theory, parts of your feet correspond to different parts or organs within the body. Depending on your symptoms, a reflexologist might pinpoint channels within the feet to help you relax, to ease headaches or to improve lymphatic drainage, among other benefits.
Among the potential foot massage benefits is a reduction of tension and stress. The pressure applied by the reflexologist can send a calming message from the nerves in your feet to your central nervous system.
