The foot reflexology massage is also known as foot reflexology. Like all types of reflexology, it belongs to the so-called tuning therapies.
Foot reflexology is based on the assumption that the feet are connected to all the organs of the body through nerve pathways. For example, it is said that the area under the big toe is connected to half of the brain on the same side, while a certain area on the arch of the left foot is connected to the heart.
If even a slight amount of pressure causes pain in the relevant areas, it may indicate a disease of the corresponding organ. Massaging these areas should stimulate the body to heal itself. Reflexology is used as a complement to conventional medicine.
The foot reflexology massage improves circulation and peripheral lymphatic drainage.
