THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO |

REFLEXOLOGY
Because reflexology normally touches only your feet, hands, and ears, only the footwear comes off. If the practitioner wants you to be naked, something is definitely WRONG here!

|
|
MASSAGE
Because most of the body is touched, you would normally be asked to only wear your undergarment.
|
|
Reflexology is applied to specific areas in your feet, hands or ears to affect an entirely different organ or body parts. |
|
|
|
|
When massage is applied to one part of the body; muscles and tissue directly underneath it will be stimulated. So, to give the same benefit to the whole body, massage is normally done to the entire body. |
|
Only the fingers are normally used. The muscle movement is smaller compared to massage. Some practitioners use oils, others do not. |
|
|
|
|
Muscle movement is large. Some type of massage will not only use their hands fingers but also feet, arms and elbows. The use of oil is normal. |
|
The aim is to actually improve the function of our organs and glands. |
|
|
|
|
The aim is to give general benefit to body. It normally is not used to heal or improve specific organs. |
