When foot pain, soreness, or numbness are present, a general foot
massage feels relaxing and stimulates the circulation of the feet.
However, even a good foot massage is not as direct or effective as a
foot reflexology treatment.
Your footprints and your handprints are your own unique identification.
In hand and foot reflexology, the reflexology pressure points on your
feet and hands represent your individual anatomy.
Life sustaining energy courses throughout our bodies as electrical
current, traveling along zones and meridians that end at pressure
points in the feet and hands. The application of direct pressure to the
reflex-zones or pressure points in the hands or feet, promotes a
healing response (or reflex) in the corresponding anatomy.
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.
