Study Notes
- The diaphragm reflex stretches across the foot, located below the third toe.
- The spinal reflexes are located along the inside arch of the foot.
- The thyroid and parathyroid reflexes are located along the proximal phalange at the base of the big toe.
- The throat reflex is located along the lateral aspect of the head of the proximal phalange of the big toe.
- The pituitary gland reflex is located on the distal phalange of the big toe.
- The pineal gland reflex is located distal to the pituitary gland reflex on the distal phalange of the big toe.
- The foot reflexes are located on top of the sole of the foot in the area between the fourth and fifth proximal phalanges and the third and fourth proximal phalanges.
- The hip and knee reflexes are located on the proximal side of the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal.
- The ear reflexes are located on top of the sole of the foot in the area between the second and third proximal phalanges and the first and second proximal phalanges.
- The esophagus reflex is located above the diaphragm reflex in the groove between the first and second proximal phalanges.
- The thymus gland reflex is located on the ball of the foot directly below the first toe at the head of the proximal phalange.
- The lung reflexes are located above the diaphragm reflex but below the heart.
- The lung reflex stretches from the edge of the second zone to the fifth zone.
- The liver reflex stretches across the entire second zone to the fifth zone.
- The gall bladder reflex is located in the fourth zone proximal to the head of the fourth metatarsal and proximal to the area where the liver reflex crosses into the fourth zone at the flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle and lateral plantar fascia.
- The heart reflex is located on the left foot distal to the diaphragm reflex and lateral to the esophagus reflex in line with the second toe at the base of the second proximal phalange.
