While it is debatable in the professional medical community whether or not reflexology actually helps to heal the body and to cure or treat diseases, there is one that that is fairly safe to say about the practice: reflexology does provide stress relief. Most of the body’s stress is begun and held in the hands and feet. As a result, tension in these places results in tension in other parts of the body.
Reflexology, like massage therapy, provides stress relief for the patient. This will ultimately improve the patient’s overall wellbeing, if only temporarily. Reflexology as a way to relieve tension and anxiety has begun to come into fashion in hospitals.

However, this is not to say that reflexology should replace conventional methods of medical treatment. Rather, reflexology should be used in conjunction with professional medical treatment.
