Which term describes non-visual lines on the feet that delineate the feet into different sections of the body?

• A. Holding hand
• B. Leverage
• C. Fascia
• D. Guidelines

Answer: (D)

In reflexology, the feet are treated as a map of the body, divided into sections that guide where to stimulate them. The term guidelines describes those non-visual lines that delineate the feet into different body regions. They aren’t physical marks on the skin; they’re the conceptual lines used on charts to locate reflex areas and keep treatment organized. Holding hand and leverage refer to how you apply pressure and positioning, while fascia is connective tissue, not a mapping system. Guidelines provide the systematic framework for locating and working each reflex zone.
