Reflexology yes, but reflexes no? - So what is reflexology?

One of the words NOT to be used by reflexologists somewhere around the US is the word reflex, and that is why it is not part of the new RAA (Reflexology Association of America) definition.  I totally understand where RAA is coming from; RAA wants to cover all states because it represents all states.

Whomever this is coming from it seems like telling a surgeon not to use the word surgery or a pet groomer not to use the words grooming and pet, just saying.
So “neural pathways” it is according to the new RAA definition, which means that I personally will have to undo fifteen years of using the term "reflex" which may result in new neural pathways by calling the “lung reflex” “neural pathways to the lungs.”  Neural is very 21st century which is in a way good.  Or “reflection of the lung” will be another option as is “neural representation of the lungs”.  When we work on the feet because they are at one end of the body, it is really nerve endings that we hit which are nevertheless part of a pathway (see below definition).

So what is a definition for neural pathway? 
Neural pathway: noun
technical: a series of connected nerves along which electrical impulses travel in the body 

(“Neural pathway.” The Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Inc., https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/neural%20pathway. Accessed 25 November 2019)And here is the Reflexology Association of America’s current definition of Reflexology:Reflexology, an integrative health practice, maps a reflection of the body predominately on the feet, hands and outer ears. It uses unique manual techniques to deliver pressure to neural pathways assisting the body to function optimally. (2019)”*
Nostalgically, I dug out my old NYSRA (stress) foot for this post which by the way says: “Reflexology..... promoting wellness” that lingo still works.  
(The list of words that COULD NOT be used due to every state having different laws per RAA is: Treatment, patient, therapy/therapist, healing, improved circulation, reflex, energy homeostasis, massage, meridians, clinical, medical, stress reduction, facial, lower leg or scalp).- So definitions are dependent on legislature (politics), lobbying and funds. On the bright side, there will never be an absolute definition; reflexology definitions come and go.  Most likely there will never be an absolute answer to what reflexology is, like there will never be an answer to which came first, chicken or egg?Thank you for reading as always,Birgit *https://reflexology-usa.org/information/raas-definition-of-reflexology/
