    Reflexology is a fraud, scam and not better than snake oil. Every single study has shown its an epic fail.

    I could never tell you that reflexology cured my headaches, hemorrhoids or heartburn, but I can attest to the Chinese Foot Massages I have gotten at various sites around the world. Boy....do my feet feel better!

    If your feet are hurting, you should get some good orthotics. The rare day that I go without mine, my feet really hurt. They are even better after I added the reverse Morton's extension. If I only knew who to thank for popularizing that modification for my generation of podiatrists.

    Thnx

    There is a big difference between the pseudoscientific fraud of reflexology and a damn good massage. Of course, a damn good foot massage make you feel better.

    To Craig,

    My comment was written as partially humorous. I don't really have hemorrhoids but thought the alliteration added to the comment. Sorry if I offended.

    To Eric,

    Your welcome.

    And my feet hurt as a residual from having psoriatic arthritis in 2006. Ouch. Embril worked as a miracle drug and I am pretty much fine....except my feet. Barefoot on hard surfaces sucks, but otherwise, with shoes and orthotics, I can walk all day with no issues.
