In short, the body is reproduced, on a small scale, in the feet mainly, but also in hands, ears, eyes. Some areas, called “reflex areas” are linked to the different organs, to the glands, or a part of the skeleton.
The stress dispatch toxins into our energy channels, establishing a blockage and a disequilibrium in the circulation of the energy.
Some reflex areas have blow up and are painful. The massages ease the elimination of the toxic wastes. Thus, the energy circulates again with fluidity. It lighten our spirit as well as our body. We feel better and the confidence in life is growing quickly.
The Reflexology is a very old Chinese medicine. It said that it had started in China, in India, or in Egypt, or in South America. In the 20th century, some people have brought that therapy in usage. We are speaking about an American doctor, William Fitzgerald, who used it for his patients. Then Eunice Ingham or Dorean Bayly, have followed, with a great success.
It is a global approach which helps the body and the mental to feel better. No drugs are necessary. Also the therapist is very respectful of the doctors and of their prescriptions. A part from the prevention of illness, the benefits of reflexology are numerous.

A STANDARD REFLEXOLOGY SESSION for FEET
The coach makes his client comfortable in an armchair or a massage table.
- first, the therapist starts by a quick diagnostic of the foot to detect swelling or abnormal points which could reflect some troubles
- then he massages the foot, the brain, hypophysis, sinus, then the breast, the throat; he continues with the digestion system. Afterward, he will massage the internal verges of the foot, the vertebral column, the reproductive organs, the hips, the sciatic nerve; the external verges of the foot follow with the massages, the arms, elbow, knees, and the legs.
On the upper part of the foot, the therapist will massage of the lymphatic tissues and glands, the pharynx, the larynx, and cerebellum;
- Massages of Hands
Although the massage of hands is less efficient, its interest consists in the fact that you can do it yourself easily at home. The body is also reprinted in hands. We massage the organs and the systems (hormonal, nervous, digestion, sexual)
- Massages of Belly
For the Japanese, the massage of HARA (the belly) is the most efficient massage. It has to be done vertically.
- Massage of the face
A large part of the face is reproduced in the face. The therapist can massage with light pressures of finger, the front, the head, the face, the eyes, the ears and the neck.
- Massage of the back, the arms and the legs
As in all the body, the meridian lines of energy circulate in the above parts. The massage of these lines is very relaxing and can eliminate the pains coming with an accident of sport or the stress.
- Official Medicine : the Reflexology is not part of the official medicine. I have a diploma of Chinese Reflexology, but I am not a doctor. Thus, I am respectful of the conventional medicine.
- Injuries : It is better to wait until some injuries on the feet, have disappeared, before starting a session.
- Cardiovascular troubles : it is wise to avoid the practice of Reflexology in this case.
- Age : it is possible to practice from 6 years old. It is very good for old people.
