What Is Reflexology? Scientific Effects of Foot Massage
What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a natural therapy based on the principle that specific points on the feet correspond to organs and systems within the body. Applying pressure to these points helps stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
With a history dating back thousands of years, reflexology is widely used today to manage stress and support overall well-being.
The Connection Between the Feet and the Body
Reflex points on the soles of the feet communicate with the brain and related organs through the nervous system. Each point represents a specific body area.
Proper stimulation of these points helps regulate energy flow and restore balance.
How Is Reflexology Massage Performed?
Reflexology massage focuses primarily on the soles of the feet. Therapists apply rhythmic pressure using thumbs and hands on targeted reflex points.
Sessions may involve oils or dry techniques, creating a deep sense of relaxation.
