Foot reflex massage

The traditional foot reflex zone massage (FRZM) is based on ancient folk knowledge. It originally comes from China and has been used there for more than 3000 years. Even then, Chinese doctors had established or suspected nerve connections or energy lines in the ears, nose, soles of the feet and palms of the hands. In Thailand, the foot reflex zone massage is widespread and is part of the everyday life of the people who live there. It is valued as an effective acupressure treatment to invigorate the internal organs and relax.  In addition, you will find  here  other useful information.

A treatment usually lasts an hour. In holistic medicine, the way they work is explained using the Asian view of the body meridians. If one follows this point of view, every organ of the body is connected to an energy meridian of the body. The meridians run through the whole body and end in the hands and feet. For example, the area of the head on the toes and the abdomen on the verses.

​

In a healthy body, the energy can flow freely through the meridians and supply every area of the body. In the event of ailments or illness, the flow of energy is blocked.

Through targeted acupressure in the relevant areas, the flow of energy can be restored by removing the blockage. The traditional Thai foot reflexology massage is well suited to stimulate the activity of the internal organs via an increased flow of energy in the meridians and to improve blood and lymph circulation. It has a preventive effect and alleviates a variety of ailments and illnesses such as headaches, constipation, tension, migraines and asthma. Tension and blockages in the whole body can be released. This leads to a balance in the body system. It is a method for harmonizing and regenerating the body and for activating life energy. The FRZM is still an excellent tool for treating tired and sore feet.

Proponents of this method assume that the foot reflex zone massage can complement medical procedures and physiotherapeutic applications that are common in pain therapy, especially in the case of circulatory disorders.
