If massaging the feet evokes pleasant sensations, plantar reflexology goes even further. This method of massage appeared centuries ago in the East. Since then, it has aroused enthusiasm and has been back in fashion for a few years. This technique is based on the idea that each point of the foot is connected to an area of the body. Stimulating a point allows direct intervention on an organ or muscle. The reflexologist can then improve blood circulation or eliminate bad toxins. If reflexology can heal and relieve certain ailments, it also has an impact on the psyche. It is thus possible to intervene directly on physical and emotional blockages. Indeed, it is particularly effective in combating stress and anxiety. By stimulating the arch of the foot, energies circulate and reduce tension.
Many of us suffer from muscle pain, insomnia or hormonal imbalances. Little everyday worries that poison our lives! Recent studies have shown that they are the result of daily stress. To have a healthy body, the mind must also be healthy! Reflexology is an effective weapon in the fight against anxiety. It allows you to learn to relax, and therefore to sleep better. And who says restorative sleep, says less anxiety during the day. If stress is a normal reaction to a particular event, it becomes dangerous when it is chronic.
