Understanding Foot Reflexology

Foot reflexology originated in China and has gradually gained popularity as people have discovered its effectiveness and reliability. In fact, in the West, its acceptance is unprecedented. Although foot reflexology originated in China, it’s now widely used all over the world. This type of foot massage focuses on certain reflex points in your foot to deal with conditions throughout your body. 

What is foot reflexology? 

Foot reflexology is a type of massage in which certain areas of the foot are massaged or pressed to facilitate the cure or prevention of illnesses in various parts of your body. It is believed that the plantar areas of the foot have sensory nerves, which are connected to the body organs. When pressure is applied to these areas (also called meridian points or reflex points), this can improve health and the person’s well-being. Stress and pain can also be relieved through foot reflexology by applying pressure on these foot cues or reflex points. 

Who can perform foot reflexology? 

A reflexologist can perform this procedure. Sometimes, doctors who have undergone special training can also do it. But, surprise, surprise! You can do it too at home and on your own, by following the steps presented in chapter 3. All you need to know are the focal or meridian points/areas on your foot and what organs they are related to. This will assist you in performing foot reflexology on your own. 

When do you perform foot reflexology? 

There’s no specified time to performing foot reflexology. It’s recommended that you do it daily and regularly even when you’re not experiencing illness. Doing the procedure earlier will prevent conditions from occurring. As the cliché goes: “Prevention is better than cure.”  If you're worried about your ability to perform the massage, it’s relatively easy. You can learn how to use your thumbs and fingers when massaging just by following the instructions in Chapters 3 and 4. So, prepare your materials and start doing your own foot massages at home, while you’re still healthy. You’ll be glad you’ve read this book before it’s too late.
