Foot reflexology massage falls under the category of natural or alternative medicine. The underlying assumption in this healing massage is a system of zones and reflex areas on the feet, which correspond to organs, nerves, glands and other parts of the body. Schermafbeelding 2016-06-16 om 11.27.12

By massaging the foot reflex zones you treat an organ, nerves or tissues that are connected to pressure points on the foot. In this way self-healing is stimulated. The massage improves blood circulation and removal of toxins. In this process blockages are removed and any physical processes that have been stagnating are put in motion again.
