Reflexology or Foot massage is one of the most unbelievably relaxing treats that you can give yourself or others. This focused pressure technique is usually directed at the hands or feet. Foot reflexology is based on the premise that our nerve zones or reflex points go from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head, encompassing all vital organs on the way. A trained reflexologist can put pressure on different points or energy lines on the sole and side of the feet to determine the cause of illness.
For example:
-
the tips of the toes reflect the head
-
the ball of the foot reflects the heart and chest
-
the arch of the foot reflects the liver, pancreas and kidneys
Common illnesses which can be treated by reflexology are blood circulation issues, digestive problems, nervous system conditions, weight management and migraines, to name a few.
