Foot reflexology is a therapeutic technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body. Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, reflexology is believed to promote healing and relaxation by stimulating the body’s natural energy flow.

How Does It Work?

Reflexology operates on the premise that the feet are a microcosm of the body. Each area of the foot is mapped to a specific body part:

• Toes: Head and neck
• Ball of the foot: Chest and lungs
• Arch of the foot: Digestive organs
• Heel: Lower back and pelvic region

By applying focused pressure to these reflex points, practitioners aim to relieve tension, enhance circulation, and stimulate the body’s self-healing capabilities.
