A reflexology treatment is a systematic application of direct pressure
on specific reflexology pressure points. Every part of the anatomy is
connected to the foot and is represented by a reflex-zone located on a
specific part of the foot. By accurately applying pressure to these
specific areas, the relevant part of the foot and/or body is contacted.
Foot reflexology increases the circulation of the feet as well as the
entire body. Foot reflexology is more medicinal than the general
surface rubbing of a regular foot massage. However, foot reflexology is
done without oils or lotions, therefore an oil foot massage can be very
beneficial for the skin and for relaxation.
Foot Massage Machines provide stimulation to increases circulation and
relax the feet. However, a foot reflexology treatment is more direct
and specific than using a foot massage machine.
With a machine it is difficult to reach all the surface area of the
feet and to control the effect on the reflexology pressure points.
There is also the possibility of over-or under-stimulating the
reflexology pressure points when using a foot massage machine.
