Even though both reflexology and palmtherapy use the hand as therapy mediator, there are essential differences between the two.
First of all, they have different objectives:

• Palmtherapy aims to treat emotional and mental affections reflected in daily behavior and mentality.
• Reflexology acts on physical conditions, which indirectly influence moods and behavior.

In other words, palmtherapy acts on thoughts and reflexology acts on organs.

Palmtherapy - for emotiuonal and mental affections



Reflexology - treat physical conditions

Secondly, they use different parts of the hand:

• Palmtherapy acts on external palm lines and areas connected to the brain.
• Reflexology acts on specific sensitive spots identified by means of an electronic device, the acupuncture point detector.

In other words, the energetic network of the hand is exploited differently by each of the therapy methods presented.

Nonetheless, there are cases in which palmtherapy and reflexology may be associated to treat certain conditions with optimum results.
