Foot Reflexology Map. In this article. By Synthia Andrews, Bobbi Dempsey. Part of Acupressure and Reflexology For Dummies Cheat Sheet. Your feet are full of acupressure and reflexology points. The following illustration shows each foot and its reflexology sites. Note that the feet are not mirror images of each other when it comes to reflexology. In reflexology theory, points and areas on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to specific organs, bones and body systems. Practitioners access these points on the feet and hands (bottom, sides, and top) and the ear (both inside as far as the finger can reach and outside) to affect organs and systems throughout the entire body.

Example: how to use basic reflexology knowledge with a simple chart to find the stomach area on the foot
- We know that the stomach is mostly on the left side of the body - so it must be mainly on the left foot
- We know that on the foot the body is divided into sections
- We know that the stomach is under the chest region and above the waist line
- Therefore, it is mostly on the left foot between the chest area and waistline

- Thumb walk this part on the spine area up and down for several minutes.
- Thumb walk the entire shoulder area
