Foot reflex zone massage
Kesselring A
Institut fur Pflegeforschung, Bern.
Foot reflexology is defined as massage of zones on the feet which correspond
to different parts of the body. A medline-search yielded no literature in
the field of foot reflexology. Indications for and results of foot
reflexology have been extrapolated from case-descriptions and two pilot
studies with small samples. One study (Lafuente et al.) found foot
reflexology to be as helpful to patients with headaches as medication
(flunarizine), yet foot reflexology was fraught with less side-effects than
medication. In a second study (Eichelberger et al.) foot reflexology was
used postoperatively on gynecological patients. The intervention group
showed a lesser need for medication to enhance bladder tonus than did the
control group. The literature describes foot reflexology as enhancing
urination, bowel movements and relaxation.
