Foot Reflexology
Foot Reflexology: Well-being for the Entire Body
Foot Reflexology is a manual treatment within alternative medicine that utilizes foot massage to target specific areas of the body, based on the principles of complementary medicine. The precise massage applied to different points on the foot has a therapeutic effect that reflects on the corresponding body area (organ, gland, or anatomical structure).
It can provide relief for various issues such as headaches, joint and muscle pain, digestive system disorders, insomnia, and stress.
The treatment is suitable for patients of all ages. However, it is contraindicated for those with foot circulation problems, vascular diseases of the lower limbs (e.g., phlebitis, varicose veins), thrombosis, ulcers, diabetic foot, warts, or fungal infections.

- Stimulates the neuroendocrine system
