Palm Reflexology

{!firstname_fix}

This is one of the more popular forms of reflexology, second only to foot reflexology. 
The palms and undersides of your fingers have certain pressure points that will help to 
relax and relieve pain and tension to other parts of the body. With palm reflexology, you 
are applying mild pressure to these areas in order to release pain. 

The Palm Reflexology Charts

The first thing you need to know about palm reflexology (and other forms) is that there 
are charts to show you where the pressure points. You should study these a little at first 
and keep them close to you if you are going to attempt this on your own. Your 
practitioner will also be using the charts to make sure they find the right pressure points. 
There are also some different types of charts, such as a Western chart and other forms. 
You may notice differences, like where the pressure points are for the upper part of the 
head, which would be the brain, eyes, ears, and sinus.

How to Do Palm Reflexology

This is a good thing to know whether you want to try reflexology on your own, or just 
want to be familiar with what a practitioner is going to do. Look at your chart and find the 
area of your palm that you want to apply pressure to. Press your opposite thumb on the 
pressure point, putting a small amount of pressure for about 5 seconds. Release for a 
couple seconds, then repeat the process. You can do this 2-3 times for each pressure 
point you are trying to stimulate.
