Reflexology therapy is a non-invasive complementary therapy that involves applying targeted pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body. This therapy aims to stimulate natural healing, improve circulation, relieve stress, reduce pain, and restore balance to the body’s energy systems. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the principles, techniques, and clinical applications of reflexology within traditional and integrative healthcare frameworks.
The session will cover reflexology maps, therapeutic protocols, treatment techniques, and evidence-based outcomes for stress reduction, pain management, digestive support, and overall wellness. Discussions will also address the integration of reflexology with conventional and complementary therapies, safety guidelines, and practitioner training. By highlighting its physiological and psychosocial benefits, this session aims to promote reflexology as a holistic, patient-centered approach to supporting health and well-being.
