Foot reflexology is a comprehensive treatment that revives the body's natural healing process. This is done by applying targeted pressure to specific reflex points on the feet. This ancient practice — using special hands, fingers and thumbs — is based on the principle that our internal organs, bones and body systems can be positively affected by skillfully manipulating specific points on the feet, ears or hands.
With the restorative power of foot reflexology, anyone can improve their body's potential for balance and well-being. Considered one of the ancient arts, its roots date back more than 5,000 years to Egypt and China.
You could require more frequent sessions if you are battling a particular disease or condition. A basic suggestion could be to start with a session once a week for 6–8 weeks, followed by a “tune-up” every four weeks.
Key locations in foot reflexology are the inside and outside ankles, each with particular reflex points connected to different body organs. During a session, pressure is applied to these points to stimulate and encourage balance in the relevant bodily parts and systems.
Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy — no needles or invasive procedures. Practitioners push on the hands or feet using their hands or specialized equipment.
It is founded on the idea that the body is interrelated, and that imbalances in one part can affect other sections. It adopts a comprehensive strategy to bring harmony and balance back to the entire body.
Reflexologists frequently refer to charts that demonstrate the reflex sites on the hands and feet and how they relate to various organs and body components.
One of its main advantages is the capacity to promote relaxation — light pressure on the foot can aid stress relief, anxiety reduction, and a sense of well-being.
Different people respond differently. Some feel relief right away; others need several sessions. Any discomfort or sensitivity should be discussed with a qualified reflexologist.
