Abstract
The article discusses reflexology, or zone therapy, a foot massage that aims to improve health and relax the patient. The article offers an overview of the history of reflexology and discusses its seven mechanisms related to biomechanics and spirituality, including relaxation, posture, and mind-body connection.
