Online reflexology schools teach the science and art of zone therapy, which is the practice of stimulating points on the feet and hands to benefit other areas of the body for improved health.

Introduced by an ear, nose, and throat specialist in the United State in the early 20th century, reflexology maps the foot and the hand to corresponding areas of the body, including glands, organs, nervous system, and other body parts to treat health conditions. Foot reflexology is the most commonly used form of reflexology, but both hand and foot reflexology can be learned online.

Online reflexology schools teach students how to use pressure, stretching, and movement of the whole foot and hand, or certain points, to affect the marginal nervous system and treat conditions in various areas of the body. A variation of massage, the practice of reflexology uses applications of pressure on the feet and hands to break up stress, relieve congestions, induce relaxation, and stimulate other reactions in the body.

Reflexology is used as a complementary form of treatment to standard medical care. Online reflexology schools teach reflexology as a natural healing practice for treating a variety of medical and physical conditions. Reflexology is becoming more accepted in traditional medical practices, and it is under investigation to determine all possible benefits as a true medicinal therapy. Reflexology has been introduced into hospitals, and is being considered for insurance reimbursement.

It is possible to learn the art reflexology via online reflexology schools. Online courses are taught through the use of downloadable books, streaming video, interactive chats with students and teachers, and other methods.
