"We have seen people working on feet in pictures on ancient walls," said massage therapist Virginia Tuohey. "The foot is split into zones. The idea of zone therapy was that one whole side of your body would represent, would affect another part in that zone and there (are) five zones in the body."

Each and every part of the foot affects a part of the body.

In reflexology, common problems like headaches get relieved by rubbing the large toe. Shoulder pain? The side of the foot. Back pain and sciatic get relief by pressing here, and menstrual cramps, here.

"We don't know how it works-whether it is through the circulation, energy channel through the lymphatic system, or the nervous system. We know proof is in the pudding. Over the years people who have been using have reduced pain, it has created balance in their life," said Tuohey.

Reflexology is for everyone. Even if you have a previous injury that causes you pain, no worries. She lightens up pressure when needed.
