Anatomy and physiology of the body is for the most part, the same for each individual.
Likewise, the study of A&P is similar with most disciplines. However, the
theory of body systems and application of techniques by the practitioner in Reflexology is different
than other professions.
Reflexology A&P consists of the interconnection between:
-
The systems of the body and their
functions
the foot as a structure (i.e., nerves tissues, biomechanics)
the map of the reflexes in the feet (i.e., reflexes as they anatomically
are reflected on the feet)
pathology in relation to the systems
energy pathways, and
how all of the above are affected by stimulation of the feet.
The study includes:
-
Hands on application
palpation of landmarks of the feet
identification and reflexing of reflexes and other tissue in relation to
the theory of the body being replicated on the feet, and
the innate ability of the body to balance itself
physiologically and through energy pathways.
The A&P mechanisms by which Reflexology works includes, but
is not limited to:
These differences are what makes Reflexology
unique and a separate discipline from other professions.
