The diaphragm/solar plexus reflex sits just below the ball of the foot near the center.
2. Why should a reflexologist avoid working over broken skin, cuts, or open wounds on the foot?
Working over broken skin, cuts, or open wounds risks introducing infection and causes unnecessary pain, so those areas must be avoided or the session deferred.

The palmar (inner) surface of the hand corresponds to the plantar (bottom) surface of the foot, containing the same major organ reflex areas.

When approved by a provider, reflexology may help pregnant clients relax and ease tension.
