I'd like to believe that no other touch can heal best, than another human being's touch. That is precisely the reason why I believe that massages have a unique quality of bringing relaxation and relief. One of the well-known types of massages is probably the reflexology massage.

Reflexology massage is an ancient healing technique, whose origins stem from Asia. It is a massage that is largely based on the belief that there are "pressure points" located in the hands and feet that are connected to the rest of the body and even to major organs and internal organs. Reflexology massage's debut in the West is attributed to Dr. William Fitzgerald. Throughout Dr. Fitzgerald's years of practice, he has observed, while working on his patient's feet, that the pressures he applied in certain parts of the feet have significantly affected other parts of the body of the patient. From this novel theory, Dr. Fitzgerald began devising a crude reflexology chart, which maps the hands and feet out in ten vertical zones. These zones were based on the reflexes of the hands and feet, as noted by the body's reaction when pressure was applied to that point.

Fast forward to the present times, reflexology is now a standard fixture in the massage therapy industry and has been both a business venture and a lucrative career to its practitioners. The practice is widely known to have positive health effects, which include the improvement of circulation, healthy detoxification, and the relief of muscular tension. Reflexology massage is said to be particularly effective in relieving back pain, arthritis, migraines, and is even said to reduce infertility.
