The basic underlying premise of reflexology has no sound scientific basis, reflexology maps exhibit several inconsistencies, and there is no convincing evidence that reflexology assessment can identify underlying medical conditions.

Reflexology is mostly bullshit. And by ‘mostly’, I mean ‘all.’ It’s all bullshit. Or as retired physician Harriet Hall puts it, reflexology is “a theatrical placebo with a soupçon of relaxing massage.” But one doesn’t book a reflexology appointment and then berate the reflexologist for practicing reflexology. That simply isn’t done.

Fact: Wrong! Whilst reflexology does include some massage techniques to warm up the muscles and relax you, the actual reflexology treatment relies on using systematic pressure on the body which helps bring the body back into balance. It generally feels very relaxing and calming.
