The foot reflexology is an alternative diagnosis and healing method which is based on the insight that the foot can be separated into different areas (reflex zones) which are connected to the organs by the nerve cords.
When man was still walking barefooted all the reflex zones were naturally stimulated by irregularities on the ground. Only since we wear shoes do these zones not get enough stimulation anymore.
Through the application of pressure on certain acupressure spots by a therapist, inner organs are stimulated and the health of the body improves.
The final effect of the foot reflexology is a deep relaxation, an improved blood circulation, a stimulation of the immune system and the self-healing powers as well as a positive effect on the spirit and soul.
It also stimulates the nerve cords and the relaxation of the muscles.
It can soothe back aches.
Through foot, hand and ear reflexology massages different receptors on the skin are stimulated by the application of pressure or touch. This stimulation is going through the spinal marrow to the brain and has a pain relieving and relaxing effect.
Very stimulating is a ear reflexology massage because the way from the ears to the brain is short. Connective tissue massage is vitalizing and regulates the functions of the organs and the metabolism and helps to reduce tension of the muscles.
