What are the massage points of the foot reflexology zone

Hands and feet are the most important coordinating organs of the human body. Hands are responsible for collecting and making, etc., while feet are responsible for moving and supporting, etc. On the surface, hands are more important, but in fact, feet are more closely related to human health. For example, the foot reflex zone is a platform connecting various organs of the body. By observing and massaging the foot reflex zone, diseases can be discovered and resolved in time. So, what are the key points of massaging the foot reflex zone?

The reflex zones of the feet can regulate the functions of various parts of the human body and achieve the effects of disease prevention, treatment and self-care. This is medically known as the "foot reflex zone health method." Foot reflexology massage mainly uses pressing, pushing and kneading techniques to stimulate the reflexology areas, which can adjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body, promote health and treat diseases. The intensity of stimulation varies from person to person. Generally speaking, weak stimulation is suitable for people with deficiency syndrome, older age and weak constitution, while strong stimulation is suitable for people with excess syndrome, younger age and strong constitution. Strong stimulation requires heavy force and short duration, 1-3 minutes is enough, 1-3 times a day; weak stimulation requires light force and long duration, and can be sustained for 30-40 minutes, 1-3 times a day.

When implementing stimulation, you should strive to achieve the following: the technique is skillful and gentle, and the force is long-lasting and even.

1. The foot reflex zone is different from the point-shaped acupuncture points. The foot reflex zone is large and sheet-like, and can produce effects even if the positioning is slightly deviated.

2. The foot reflex zone is located below the knee, spread over the sole, instep, medial side, lateral side and calf of the foot, not just the sole. Therefore, it is inaccurate to call foot massage simply foot "sole" massage. When massaging, you should massage the exact reflex area of ​​the foot according to the specific symptoms.

3. The arrangement of the foot reflex zones is basically consistent with the anatomical positions of various organs in the human body. When they are sitting or lying down, with their feet together and their lower limbs extended forward, it is equivalent to them sitting facing you. The thumb is the head; the heel is the buttocks; the reflex areas of organs close to the midline are on the inside of the foot, such as the spine, uterus, prostate, etc.; the reflex areas of organs and parts far from the midline are on the outside of the foot, such as the shoulders, ovaries, testicles, etc.
