It is not common knowledge that the foot has  unexpected restorative power.     Indeed, the feet are at the centre of a holistic treatment called foot reflexology that aims to rebalance our body, energy, and emotions.

WHAT IS FOOT REFLEXOLOGY?

It is a  holistic therapy  that examines the person as a whole: body, mind, spirit and energy. It is an ancient technique based on the principles of  Chinese medicine,  and has become increasingly popular in both the East and the West.

The technique is based on the theory that the foot is the anatomical mirror of the body. Starting from this parallelism between the part and the whole, a special stimulation technique  of the sole of the foot  is applied. There are specific points called reflexes that transmit impulses and stimulate the various systems of the body: circulatory, glandular, nervous,

digestive, sensory, and reproductive.

WHAT ARE ITS BENEFITS?

The main purpose of this ancient technique is to  rediscover well-being,  reduce tension, and stimulate the flow of energy to revitalize the entire body.

Specifically, foot reflexology helps to  relax the musculoskeletal system. It can also assist in the  purification of the body  through action on the lymphatic system, eliminating toxins and favouring the work of the kidneys.

It is also effective in improving  digestion  or in giving relief to those suffering from colitis.

Foot reflexology  also promotes blood circulation,  promoting metabolic activity. Moreover, it helps to  reduce pain  associated with certain areas of the body, such as the back.

Finally, this holistic treatment can be effective against psychosomatic disorders related to  stress  and  anxiety. 

WHAT ARE ITS CONTRAINDICATIONS ON THE OTHER HAND?

Foot reflexology is a  safe  technique, but precautions must be taken with anyone suffering from diseases of the nervous and circulatory systems. Particular attention is also paid to pregnant women and people suffering from mental illness.
