The benefits of foot reflexology are possible due to the correspondence between certain areas of the hands and feet with organs, nerve structures, glands and bones of the human body and the foot reflexologist is able, thanks to his studies and experience, to connect the various organs at specific points on the hands and feet. These will be the areas that will then be treated with pressure or massage, without using particular oils but only the fingers of the hand.

Foot Reflexologyit is in fact a very ancient discipline that belongs to different cultures and from the still existing documents it is possible to trace its origin to 5000 years ago and in particular to Chinese culture. The maps belonging to the On Zon Su School (Traditional Chinese Medicine) are however very different from the anatomical ones that have spread with the advent of modern foot reflexology.

Among the benefits of a Foot Reflexology sessionremember the state of deep relaxation that acupressure and massage exert on the recipient and which, in addition to giving a feeling of well-being, helps the body detoxify itself from bad moods and strengthen the body’s natural defenses. All this starting in particular from the feet, one of the most important parts of the body even if today one of the most neglected, especially by men.

In fact, the foot massage allows you to relieve discomfort of the whole body and to rediscover that total well-being that is often believed to be lost.

Massage in Foot Reflexology

The expert reflexologist will perform a massage with the thumbs of the hands on the entire sole of the foot to rebalance the energy and give well-being to the body through the stimulation of the many nerve endings present. Terminations that are able to send inputs to the brain and make us feel better immediately.

In detail, the reflexologist makes use of a real map of reflex points and among the first benefits described by the recipient, in addition to relaxation, there are the improvement of circulation and a profound sense of lightness. No other massage can therefore be compared to the techniques of foot reflexology.

Finally, the true foot reflexologist as trained by the courses of the Academy of Plantar Reflexology DIABASI® , does not use tools, oils and creams but bases his intervention only on the great sensitivity in the tactile use of the fingers. Training in foot reflexology is therefore entirely based on the concept of reflex stimulus and follows the fundamentals of Holism, the theory that considers mind and body as a single whole and takes knowledge from three major disciplines: Psychosomatics, Chinese Energetics, ‘Anatomy and Physiology.

It is precisely from these techniques that the foot reflexologistcan learn which are the reflex points of the organs and systems of the human body to perform a complete and professional treatment whose goal will be the cure of the most common disorders of organic and energetic origin.
