my opinion is that it is a total scam like all "new age" medicine, spirituality, and everything else "new age". The example given above about abdominal problems is nothing more than cold reading, an age old parlour trick. reflexology is a foot message and nothing more ! we believe so much superstitious stuff today we would make the people from the dark ages blush. The above link to the scam reflexology page is filled with the phrase: "It is believed" -as in- "It is believed that Reflexology can improve functions of musculo-skeletal system, circulatory and lymphatic systems and profoundly affect the internal organs of the body."
Delusions are defined as "beliefs" in psychiatric diagnostic criteria.
People in whatever state of underlying psychological disturbance invent beliefs that make them feel better. This is the very definition of "new age medicine" and the "new age" movement in general.
In short, reflexology is an idea invented for and by people paddling with only one ore because nutty ideas make them feel better.
