Reflection Zone

Human activity, vegetation body organs and systems work properly functioning because of the vital energy. In the body, vital energy is on track to be circulated freely, continuously without restriction as long as we live.

The surface of the human body there are a number of reflections zone associated with organs or organ systems are maintained by certain segments of the bone marrow. Heating, cooling or massaging in a reflection zone circulation of vital energy in a particular organ or organ system associated with the zone.

Reflexology massage therapy zone is a way to overcome health problems by means of massaging the point / area specific reflection on the human body according to the zones. Massage in a zone will expedite the flow of vital energy that flows in the zone. Humans will be healthy when vital energies are in a state of perfect balance and is able to flow unimpeded.

Longitudinal Zone
Dr. William Fitzgerald Crawford an ENT consultant who was born in the town of Middletown, became interested in various therapeutic press in the early 1900s while studying in the UK and Europe. 1917 Dr. William Crawford published a book entitled "Zone Therapy". He described that the body can be divided into 10 longitudinal zones in the zone and that the energy flow that incorporates parts of the body that are in the same zone.

Blockages / energy barrier in a zone can affect the body parts that are different in the same zone. Pressure or massage in one zone can help remove blockages and flow of energy in the zone. Dr. William Fitzgerald Crawford also use this method to reduce pain which serves as an anesthetic.

In theory there are 5 zones longitudinal zones on each side of the body. This zone includes a segment in front of the body - back, extends from toe to head and brain. From toe the line drawn parallel to the fingertips of the same hand. Each first-level body has the same width.
5 zones are:
a. Zone 1: from the tip toe past the legs and body to the head and brain, and then down to the arms continuously towards the end of the thumb
b. Zone 2: from the end of the second toe past the legs and body to the head and brain, and then down to the arms continuously towards the end of the hand index finger
c. Zone 3: the third leg of the fingertip pass through the legs and body to the head and brain, and then down to the arms continuously towards the end of the middle finger
d. Zone 4: from the end of the fourth toe past the limbs and body to the head and brain, and then down to the arms continuously towards the end of the ring finger
e. Zone 5: from the end of the fifth toe past the legs and body to the head and brain, and then down to the arms continuously towards the end of the hand index finger
f. Specifically on the thumb, the cross section of each mother a finger is divided into 5 zones / equal parts

The meaning of the zones is that the flow of vital energy throughout each zone relate all these areas of the body that are in the same zone. So the problem at one point / area in a specific zone can cause problems in other body parts that are in the same zone. Similarly, when searching for a point / area of ​​reflexology.

Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist, do research on pressure points terapizona, he found that the sole of the foot is responsive. He calls this massage technique as "reflexology" massage which replaces the previous designation compression / press.
