While a foot massage helps relieve tired feet, it doesn’t go beyond relaxation. Foot reflexology, on the other hand, isn’t focused on relaxation, but in medical healing. Some patients turn to foot reflexology to control diabetes and other illnesses. The science of foot reflexology is mind-boggling but incredibly insightful. Therapists believe that applied acupressure to specific parts of your feet would aid certain organs in your body. For instance, the arch between your big toe and second toe is linked to your kidney. So if you have kidney issues, your therapist would pay special attention to the arch between your first two toes!
While the medical benefits of foot reflexology have yet to be proven scientifically, the treatment can still be relaxing for some.
