Reflexology and its positive effects to relieve many disorders:
• joints and muscles (arthritis, osteoarthritis, epicondylitis, gout, lumbago, tendinitis),
• cardiac (angina pectoris, hypertension, palpitations),
• gastric and intestinal (gallstones, colitis, chronic constipation, indigestion),
• gynecological (premenstrual syndrome),
• psychological (anxiety, depression),
• respiratory (asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis),
• urinary (cystitis, colic),
• lymphatics (fluid retention),
• endocrine (menstrual pain, thyroid gland)
• and central nervous.

Preliminary research conducted with 26 subjects with multiple sclerosis showed an improvement in symptoms after six weeks of reflexology treatment, but also the need to continue therapy on a regular basis to maintain the gains obtained, which seem to diminish after twelve weeks. Finally, university hospitals apply reflexology as a method of functional rehabilitation.
