If you are going to trace the history of this therapy, then you will learn that this practice has been in existence for the past thousands of years. And this practice can be traced to a number of places like in India, China and even Egypt. There is even that wall painting that has been discovered in Egypt that shows two men working on the feet and the hands of two men. This requires prompt attention and medication and while you are at it better start applying the pressure on both the center soles of your feet for added relief. These are only three of the most important organs represented on the soles of one's feet introduced to us by reflexology. There is nothing wrong in putting in additional protection, so long as you consult a professional physician and refrain from self-medication. You will also be asked to cover business and professional ethics. Other than these, there are certain requirements that should be satisfied as well before you will be given your national certification. You will be made to undergo some form of on-job training where you will be supervised by an instructor. In the simplest sense, this is the application of pressure, stretching and the movement of the person's feet and hands which in turn will trigger and connect to the many glands and parts of the body. In the perspective of the practitioners of reflexology, they see the hands and the feet as representations for the many body parts and glands. But since this form of therapy is here to stay, then it is but proper that a proper understanding of the therapy should happen. And it is best as well that everyone who are thinking and planning of taking this therapy session should know what to expect the moment they signify their intent that this form of therapy is for them. The heaviness of the pressure must be in accordance to the standard practice set by professional reflexologists because too much pressure can result to injury or sprain and not a lot of people can endure such pain. However, the amount of pressure can also be requested by the patient, as others do not feel the sensation from the average pressure.
