One of the most common questions we are asked is why are there so many different Reflexology charts, and which one is the correct one. Most charts are based on reiteration or a mirror image of the body. Zones are used to divide the body into ten segments. A grid like system corresponds each and every body part onto the feet and hands.
Empirical Charts - charts gathered from personal experience. if someone has worked with specific problems they may have created a chart based on those patterns.
Chinese tradition - Charts based on acupuncture meridians. These charts reflect correspondence with other parts of the body but not in a reiterative pattern.
Artistic Charts - Charts done for an artistic effect. These charts are not usually accurate, as they are usually created for eye appeal. For example the sports company Reebok produced a Reflexology ad that had a very artistic chart.
Ancient Charts - These are abundant throughout Asia. There are a number of pictographs and symbols whose meaning has been lost. Buddha's footprints are an example of this.
Reiterative Charts - Charts that mirror the body's image. These charts are built based on zones to reflect the body in miniature on a body part.
The most amazing thing that we have found is that all of these charts seem to work for the Reflexologist who uses them. Read the article on
