First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looked at whether foot reflexology—a type of foot massage—can change how the diaphragm works. Researchers measured brain activity, breathing rate, and heart rate in 30 healthy adults to see if there is a specific effect. The goal was to find markers that show reflexology's impact, not to treat any disease.
