Foot reflexology is a therapeutic technique that bases its principles on the belief that the human body is connected through energy channels found in the feet.
These channels are connected to different parts of the body, including organs, systems, and glands.
According to foot reflexology, each point on the foot has a direct connection to a specific part of the body, identifying and stimulating these points through massage and pressure. Doing so is believed to balance the body's energies and improve overall health and well-being.
How does foot reflexology work?
During a foot reflexology session, the therapist will examine the individual's feet for areas of tension, pain, or tenderness. Massage and pressure on these points help eliminate pain, improve circulation and promote relaxation for general well-being.
