Hand Reflexology Chart
Hand reflexology mirrors foot reflexology on a smaller canvas. Useful for self-treatment and discreet session work. This chart covers the palm view.
37 pressure points across 1 view.
On a hand reflexology chart, each point on the hands lines up with an organ or gland elsewhere in the body. This one is interactive: 37 points from the Ingham Method. Tap any point to see the organ it connects to and the research on it.
Our hand map follows the Ingham Method, the same Western tradition as our foot map, popularized by the International Institute of Reflexology. Chinese and other traditions map some reflexes to different spots. Compare traditions →

Hand reflexology chart: common questions
What is a hand reflexology chart?
It's a map of the hands showing which points line up with which organs and body systems. The idea in reflexology is that pressing a point stimulates the organ it connects to. This chart follows the Ingham Method (Western reflexology) and has 37 points across the palm view.
How many pressure points are on the hand reflexology map?
37. Tap any point on the chart above and you'll see the organ or gland it connects to, plus any research we've found on it.
How do you read a hand reflexology chart?
Find the part of the hands that lines up with the organ you want to work, then press with steady, firm pressure. Every point in the table below links to its organ, its body system, and any studies we have.
Is the hand reflexology map the same in every tradition?
No. This one follows the Ingham Method (Western reflexology) (United States, Eunice Ingham / International Institute of Reflexology). Chinese reflexology and a few other traditions put some of the organ points in different places. Our traditions page walks through the differences.
