A form of pressure point massage of the feet and hands designed to reduce and relieve pain. Zone therapy is based on the idea that the body is divided into lo equal energy channels: five on each side and each containing its own “bioelectrical energy” that travels from the toes to the brain to the fingers. Pain relief is achieved by pressing the joints of toes and fingers in the appropriate zone. Zone therapy is used by chiropractors and osteopaths who, whenever possible, prefer not to use pain-relieving drugs.
