http://www.happyfeet.com/Kenkoh.aspx Reflexology, also known as zone therapy is an ancient holistic healing technique. The theory behind this alternative medicine is that through the application of pressure to the foot, the practitioner may affect specific reflex zones in the body, producing a reduction of stress and pain.

While much of reflexology as yet to be scientifically validated, those who have received treatments swear by it, and insist that reflexology is responsible for reducing imbalances and blockages resulting from chronic illness.

The theory of reflexology (zone therapy) foot massage is that through the use of pressure to various parts of the foot, the corresponding areas of the body, will be stimulated, anesthetized healed, and favored with increased circulation of blood.

Patients who have undergone reflexology say they prefer these holistic massages to other kinds of more invasive treatments. Reflexology is safe, non-invasive and well reputed to effectively relieve and reduce elements associated with disease.

Reflexology can be traced back to the early civilizations of China and Egypt and while recipients rave about the results, there is still little scientific evidence that reflexology can actually cure disease. Current medical research however indicates that there is a definite increase in blood flow and error reduction of pain in the corresponding parts of the body. Still a reputable reflexologists will recommend the treatment solely as an adjunct as a supplement to and not a replacement of traditional medical procedures.

For those who undergo reflexology treatment, you'll find that your session will result in the circulation of energy to the various cells of your body. Increased blood flow eliminates any "blockage" to specific organs. It is believed that these blockages are the source of pain and suffering. Although the application of zone therapy will ultimately result in a substantial reduction of pain and the resultant feeling of comfort and relaxation, one should expect a certain amount of discomfort initially.

Once the detoxification process starts during the reflexology treatment, a patient can expect slight discomfort, a feeling of nausea, emotional ups and downs, changes in your body temperature, dizziness, mood swings, and drowsiness just to name a few. While these symptoms are not appealing, the result effects include relaxation, stress reduction, relief of pain in various regions of the body, increase energy and stamina and productivity. Zone therapy foot massages should be received frequently to maintain blood flow and reduce potential blockages throughout the body.

As an alternative to frequent visits to a reflexologists, specialized sandals have been created specifically for reflexology. The "fingers" of these reflexology sandals by the Japanese company Kenkoh, replicates the actions of a reflexologists and can effectively continue the process between sessions.
