Used specifically to relax the body, certain pressure points in the feet are messaged that have direct correlation to internal organs; thus this is an overall health practice.
A 2008 article from the Jakarta Post mentions, “Reflexology centers are easily found in Jakarta's shopping malls, many of the upscale serviced apartments, and even in some office towers which double as residential suites.” The article also confirms that there is a high demand for reflexology centers in Jakarta all together. A brief explanation of a typical session is as follows: “a reflexologist applying pressure with thumbs and fingers at various points on the feet, known as reflex zones” Jakarta Post, 2008 (www.thejakartapost.com/news/2008/12/24/reflexology-getting-it-right.html)
The two pictures above are from an article named Wine and Dine Indonesia, 2010, and they were taken from the LifeSpa and Fitness Centers and Zen Living in Jakarta, Indonesia. This is a typical example of what their centers look like. (www.expat.or.id/info/reflexology.html )
