Reflexology foot massage

Reflexology foot massage
Reflexotherapy is a deeply relaxing foot massage technique that stimulates specific reflex points connected to organs, glands, and systems of the body. By applying gentle pressure, we support your body's natural healing abilities and bring it back into balance. With the right technique one can massage the whole body just through massaging the feet and start the bodies self-healing process.
Reflexotherapy is a natural healing method based on the principle that every part of the body is reflected in specific reflex zones on the feet. By gently stimulating these zones through targeted pressure and massage, we can support the healthy function of corresponding organs, glands, and body systems.
This technique works on multiple levels — physical, emotional, and energetic. It helps to release tension, improve circulation, stimulate the nervous system, and restore energy flow throughout the body. Reflexotherapy brings the body into a state of deep relaxation where it can begin to rebalance and heal itself naturally.
Each session is performed by applying gentle but firm pressure to specific points on the feet, using fingers and thumbs. It is a deeply relaxing and grounding experience, often bringing a sense of peace, lightness, and inner clarity.
Reflexotherapy also works with the energetic pathways (meridians) of the body. By releasing blockages, it allows life energy (also known as Qi or prana) to flow freely again, supporting vitality, emotional balance, and a sense of wellbeing.
In reflexology, pressure is applied to specific reflex points on the foot. These points correspond to organs and areas of the body. The treatment is said to induce a healing response, even alleviating some ailments.
Reflexology uses a targeted, pressure-point massage to restore the flow of energy throughout the body.
With repeated pressure and manipulation of nerve endings, reflexology can help to clear any channels of blocked energy. It is said to do so through moving the flow of blood, nutrients and nerve impulses. This ultimately improves overall health and balance.
