Foot reflexology is a technique in which the practitioner presses, in a controlled manner, points on the foot that contain nerve endings and correspond to various organs in the body. By stimulating these endings, the self-healing process is favoured, as well as increasing the production of nitric oxide, which is an important compound for the body as it has vasodilator and analgesic properties.
This technique provides well-being and relaxation, as it leads to the release of toxins from the body, and is used to prevent and treat illnesses and other health conditions such as insomnia, stress, blood circulation problems, hormonal problems, constipation, labyrinthitis, kidney stones, asthma, hypertension, migraines, back pain and sinusitis, for example.
Advantages and Indications
Plantar Reflexology mainly affects three factors; congestion, inflammation and tension. The main aim is to eliminate these often interconnected factors during the session, bringing the body back into balance.
It is indicated for the most common pains: back pain, headaches and even knee problems.
Reflexology foot massage is even very practical for quitting smoking and helping to combat insomnia.
Problems such as cystitis, indigestion, cellulite, stress, cramps, arthritis and anxiety can all be treated.
Plantar reflexology is a technique through which the body's energetic balance is restored using a particular type of massage which, through the stimulation and compression of specific reflex points on the feet, energetically related to organs, makes it possible to exert a preventive and direct action on possible imbalances in the body.
Its origins go back to ancient civilisations as diverse as Egypt, China and even pre-Columbia. Today it is based on the work of the American Fitzgerald, who began to develop the map and the concept of plantar reflexology, and was perfected by Eunice Inghman, the mother of modern reflexology.
