Developed in the 1930s by US physiotherapist Eunice Ingham, Reflexology maps out reflex areas on both feet and hands relating to bodily organs.
Hand reflexology is used with great success in workplaces by helping to reduce the absenteeism. One of the common areas that hinder the movement of limbs especially in the fingers is the repetitive movement in the joints and upper limbs especially in office tasks and computing.
The hand reflexology therapist can come to the workplace to release the tension in the lunch hour and the results are that it reduces the amount of absenteeism, giving positive effects on the morale in the workplace.
Hand reflexology therapists look at using a mirroring technique to determine the locations or points by using the hand as it is seen to locate the area needing treatment. I have listed below the popular areas where the physical body is constantly in need of the hand reflexology technique.
The tips of the fingers work on the top of the head relieving sinus problems, the ball of the hand affects the chest and lungs and the heel of the hand affect the pelvic area.
As the technique does not require creams the treatments fits into a busy schedule easily.
