WHY CHOOSE PLANTAR REFLEXOLOGY?
The benefits of foot reflexology
Foot reflexology promotes balance in the body as a whole and provides general relaxation that is greatly appreciated by those who receive it.
The technique is based on the fact that all parts of the human body connect with the foot. According to this reflexology, the body is divided vertically into ten zones, these are in particular the reflection points. Indeed, stimulating these points in a precise way allows energy to circulate in your meridians.
Like a hologram, the organs on the left side of the body are represented on the feet and left hand. The same goes for those on the right side. By stimulating these reflex points through massage, reflexologists are able to make the organs function properly and rebalance the flow of energy throughout the body. In addition to the therapeutic aspect, massaging the plantar reflex zones is an effective way to relax.
