Which statement correctly identifies the Tendon Line?

• A. Vertical line is the Tendon Line
• B. Shoulder Line is the Tendon Line
• C. Diaphragm Line is the Tendon Line
• D. Waist Line is the Tendon Line

Answer: (A)

In reflexology, lines on the sole map to different body structures and functions, and the Tendon Line is the vertical midline that runs from the ball of the foot straight to the heel. This straight up-and-down path reflects the long, tendinous structures that run along the limb, so the line that best represents them is a central vertical line. Other lines, such as those associated with the shoulder, diaphragm, or waist, align with different regions or orientations on the foot, not the central axis. So the vertical line is the Tendon Line because it follows the length of the tendons along the foot.
