Is the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes hands and ears, to encourage a beneficial effect on the corresponding parts of the body, thereby improving general health by stimulating the flow of energy through the body’s energy channels and restoring harmony to the system. All parts of the body are reflected in the feet and hands. Stimulating relevant areas influences their corresponding organs and systems. Vertical zones of energy run from the head to the feet, not unlike the concept of Chinese meridians. Stimulation at any point on a zone affects the organs, glands, bones and muscles along it.
