Are the effects different when doing Hand reflexology as opposed to Foot reflexology?
Given the many nerve endings in the feet, and the fact there is a larger area to work on, it is more effective to work with the feet. Having said that, hand reflexology is very useful in certain situations, such as a hospital setting, or in addition to work already done on the foot. Research in China has shown that even 15 minutes of hand reflexology can help alleviate some of the side effects of chemotherapy in children.
