foot reflexology
What is a foot reflexology massage?
Pressure massage of the foot reflex zones
Foot reflexology is a holistic and natural treatment method that uses specific pressure and massage techniques on precisely defined reflex points on the foot.
The flowing, dynamic nature of reflexology massage improves blood flow to the organs, glands, nerves, muscles, and body parts connected to the reflex zones, stimulating or relaxing them. Self-regulating bodily functions are reactivated and harmonized, releasing blocked energy (e.g., caused by tension or scarring) throughout the body.

The history of foot reflexology
Foot reflexology is a method that, similar to acupuncture, was already being practiced in Asia an estimated 5,000 years ago. Experts agree that the American ENT doctor Dr. William Henry Fitzgerald was one of the first to bring knowledge of reflex zones to the Western world.
According to the theoretical principles of reflexology, all organs, glands, nerves, muscles, and other body parts are represented in a similar structure on the feet. The thousands of nerve endings on the soles of the feet respond to touch, massage, and pressure.
Many years of experience have shown that foot reflexology has a positive effect on a wide range of health problems and complaints.
