Based on the idea that different points on your feet correspond to organs and systems throughout your body, reflexology involves targeted pressure and massage of these reflex points. It's incredibly relaxing and many people find it helps with everything from stress to digestive issues. Even if you're skeptical about the health claims, it's essentially a very thorough and therapeutic foot massage.

People who tried this

“Just yesterday I tried getting reflexology done for the first time. Right from the start she began digging her nails into my feet and pinching the skin in between my toes. She told me "It may feel like I'm using my nail, but I'm not. Those are your bodies issues. Once you relax the nail will disappear." After a few moments she would stop jabbing me with her nail and start using her finger, "See? Now the pain is gone." I should also mention this was very painful, but the worst part was when she stuck her finger in between the bones from the top of my foot. I literally cried out in pain, she laughed and told me to not pass out from the pain and to breathe. It was perhaps the worst pain I've felt in my life. Today that foot is a little swollen and is painful to walk on.”
