Foot reflexology and its benefits.

In our foot, there are as many as 26 bones, 33 joints and 56 ligaments and over 70,000 nerve endings. Quite a number, if something goes wrong, we get a bad spell, don't we? We believe that you think so yourself. Fortunately, foot reflexology puts it all in order and in perfect harmony.

It differs from ordinary massage, because it treats certain areas that are connected to certain parts of the body. The initial relaxation is similar to regular foot massage. However, treating the zones on the feet at the very beginning is very uncomfortable and painful.

With stimulation at certain points along all paths, various difficulties can be removed, ie. blockages in proper energy flow.

What is foot reflexology?

Reflexology is an ancient skill that treats certain areas on the feet and even the hands. It is performed a little less often on the head, ears. Precise massaging of the zones acts on the internal organs and parts of the body in order to restore the balance in their functioning.

For thousands of years, reflex foot massage has been used as a diagnostic and therapeutic method. It dates from the period of 5,000 BC, when a drawing of a therapist treating the feet was found in Egypt. In addition, there are numerous records from ancient China and Japan where people practiced this technique, which is now called foot reflexology.

By pressing and massaging certain points, it is possible to reduce the pain and heal the organ or the entire region. Sometimes foot pain has an obvious cause, such as fungal infections, corns or ingrown toenails. But if the discomfort you feel is simply due to fatigue or boots that do not fit you well. Then reflexology can become your best friend.

There are zones on the feet, which correspond to the arrangement of our organs in the body. All the organs on the left are supported on the left foot, and those on the right on the right.

In such conditions, by massaging painful points, we stimulate an organ that is weakened, and at the same time we relax the whole organism. Foot reflexology is by no means painful, but still the pressure on one of the points can cause pain. It is an indicator of a problem that he can use for further treatment.

It is good to note that reflex foot massage is also a diagnostic treatment. Pain at a certain point shows which of our organs has a problem, and whether it is a chronic or acute phase.

If the pain in the foot is sharp and penetrating, it can be an indicator of an acute problem. On the other hand, a ‘blunt’ usually signals that it is a long-term problem that has weakened the organ energetically.

If we massage these points for a long time, the pain will subside, but the energy blockage can also be removed.

Foot reflexology can be repeated every day for 10-20 days or once a week. It is used even with children, even pregnant women, without much difference.
