The Zone Therapy divides the body into 10 vertical zones. Each zone corresponds to fingers and toes all the way up to the top of the head. Every organ, valve, muscle, etc. that lies within a zone can be accessed via a point or area on the feet or hands. These pathways between pressure points and other parts of the body are thought to be connected via the nervous system. The zones are similar to, but not the same as meridians found in Chinese medicine. However, there are some correlations between meridians and location of organs on the feet and ankles. Reflexology focuses on reflex maps of points and areas of the body in the feet, hands, and ears using unique micro-movement techniques, such as thumb or finger walking, with the goal of creating a response throughout the body.
