The foot massage is also called Reflexology. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine the foot resembles a miniature human body.
Each group of cells of the foot functions in correspondence with a human organ. In other words every organ, gland, and physiological feature has its counterpart in a reflex point in the foot. For this reason it is preferable to treat the whole person by treating the whole foot. By working on the reflection of the nerve end, has direct impact on cellular development. Its impact will multiply when reaching various human organs and adjusting their function such as digestion, growth, nervous reflection, and endocrine and hormone secretion. Treatment of the whole body through the feet is given to correct generalised imbalances as part of the complete reflexology session.
What are the procedures for foot massage?
- Before treatment the practitioner will explain what reflexology is and its actions.
- Questions about health and disease (case history) will be asked to ascertain the level of injury/disease and the patient's constitution.

- The patient will be asked to remove their shoes and socks. The treatment is done in supine or seated. The practitioner will instruct the patient what the appropriate position is for the massage.
- The patient may be covered with a cotton sheet then various hand and finger techniques will be performed to the reflex zones of the feet.
- After the treatment the patient may be advised to increase their water intake to assist the kidney's in the clear out of toxins, which should last up to two days then a return to normal water consumption.
