Evidence and enquiry
Reflexology research, made easier to explore.
Search hundreds of peer-reviewed studies and reviews, compare different types of evidence, and follow each record to its published source.
Using the evidence
Read the finding and the limitation.
Systematic reviews combine several studies; controlled trials test an intervention in a defined group.
A result against usual care is different from a result against sham reflexology or another active intervention.
A study can inform one outcome and population without establishing a general medical treatment claim.
Curated library

The library is an orientation resource, not a claim that reflexology treats a medical condition. Findings should be read in context, including sample size, controls, risk of bias and the authors’ stated limitations. Inclusion does not mean IFR endorsement.
Turn reading into professional development.
Record relevant research in your CPD and consider how its methods, findings and limitations relate to your scope of practice.
