.: Reflexology

This is a workout on the reflex zones. The term "reflex" in this case must be understood as "reflexion" or "mirror reflexion". The foot (as well as hands and face) can in fact be considered like the body's mirror, like a miniature map of the different organs. The foot is the richest part of the body in nerve endings (72,000), which with the hand, occupies the biggest space in the cerebral cortex. The foot also has an extensive vascular and circulatory system.

Reflexology allows reaching all body organs, to rebalance them and stimulate their functions. It helps to eliminate toxins and is also effective against nervous tension, depression and chronic exhaustion.

Reflexology can calm the rheumatism of the elderly as well as pacify babies.

Generally speaking, reflexology improves blood and lymphatic circulation, reinforces the immune system, favours food assimilation and toxin elimination, but does not cure serious illness. One of the most remarkable effects of reflexology lays in its capacity to reduce anxiety and pain associated with pathological conditions like cancer. Studies show its effectiveness in reducing stress related symptoms causing migraines, muscular tension and digestive problems. Other research reveals its positive effect in relieving numerous ailments.
