And the more you protect your feet the more brittle the fascia becomes. So you’re told to wear shoes (tight ones at that) to protect the feet. And when the feet hurt so does the whole body. Plantar inflammation makes those first few steps in the morning miserable. Plantar fasciitis is the micro tearing of the fascia on the bottom of the feet and this makes the nerves scream and inflame. Now, jump on it and see what happens! Tear, rip, bang! Without it your bones and ligaments would fly apart within a few steps.Īs we get older our plantar aponeurosis becomes dry, brittle, tight and lacks flexibility, like an old sun-dried trampoline. When young, the plantar fascia (on the bottom of the feet) is flexible, fluid, strong and protecting, as these are easy to get from. Fascia, like the trampoline, connects and holds amazing forces when pressure is applied. I like to give the example of a fresh (out of the box) trampoline. Many wonder how you get plantar fasciitis in the first place, and what is it really? Plantar nerve cells responsible for gauging tears, are softly subdued after stretch, reestablishing homeostasis. This pressure stretches the inflamed fascia forcing interstitial fluid in and out of the membrane. Reflexologists are experts at digging in the plantar aponeurosis (thick fibrous connective tissue) on the bottom of the feet, using acupressure from the thumbs. How does reflexology help with plantar fasciitis? It appears that word is getting out that reflexology does indeed help plantar fascia issues.

Some professionals may use lotion, oil, or instruments such as brushes or balls.

A health form and consultation is usually given to the patient before a session to uncover any problem areas. Those who work on their feet experience stress, foot pain, and back pain, which allows the reflexologist to go in-depth during their massage.
The kidney and liver correspond to the arch of the footįor those who work on their feet, Reflexology helps reduce pain, stress, and helps balance the nervous system.Ī typical Reflexology session lasts anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the patient’s current pain.The tips of the toes correspond to the head.The lower back and intestines correspond to the heel.The heart and chest correspond with the ball of the foot.Here is how certain reflex areas correspond with specific body parts: A Reflexologist will start the massage by applying pressure to the reflex areas to remove energy blockages and promote health in any problem areas. The bottom half of the foot controls all of the body parts and organs below the waistline while the top half of the foot controls the organs at the upper part of the body. This history behind Reflexology includes the theory that there are specific points or reflect areas on the feet that are connected to certain organs and body parts through energy channels. The left foot represents the left part of the body while the right foot promotes health on the right. Each foot and section of it represents a part of the body. In a Reflexology foot massage, healing is mainly forced around massaging the feet. Reflexology is a form of holistic bodywork that involves applying pressure to the feet to promote changes and benefits in other places of the body.
