Thai Reflexology: The Feet as a Map of the Body
Thai reflexology is based on an ancient principle: the feet contain a complete map of the human body. By pressing the correct points, internal organs are balanced, the nervous system calmed and self-healing activated.
Feet as a body map: a universal idea
The concept of reflex zones in the feet appears independently in China, Egypt, India and Native American cultures. Modern Thai reflexology combines Western reflex zone theory with Thai Sen line system, using thumbs and a wooden khai stick for precise pressure.
How reflexology works
Neurological connections between foot nerves and organs, zone theory, energy meridian endpoints and proprioceptive stimulation all offer explanations for reflexology's documented effects.
