Why Does It Work?

There are several theories about how foot reflexology works, with one of the most widely accepted explanations being its influence on the nervous system. Any pressure applied to the feet generates a signal in the peripheral nervous system, which is then processed by the central nervous system. This signal is then redirected to specific organs, helping them to release tension and balance their energy and oxygen levels.

Advances in reflexology indicate that its mechanism of action is similar to that of acupuncture, which maintains that invisible energy called chi circulates through channels called meridians. In these channels there are precise points that can be stimulated through massage to regulate the circulation of this energy. When this energy stagnates, an imbalance occurs that can affect organic function and potentially cause disease.

Foot Reflexology Sessions at Myrabelle

Reflexology sessions at Myrabelle last approximately 45 minutes. The therapist works on bare feet and generally uses the dry technique, although some practitioners prefer to use oils. The therapy includes manipulations using pressure, stretching and methodical movements. It is important for patients to communicate if they feel discomfort or pain at any point on their foot during the session.

Before starting, a detailed interview is conducted about the patient’s health status and the feet are examined. Always work on both feet, as the left foot represents the left side of the body and the right foot represents the right side.
