What is foot reflexology therapy?

Foot reflexology is a traditional therapy that involves using massage techniques and pressure points on the feet to affect the nervous and circulatory systems, promoting relaxation, pain relief, and overall health improvement. According to traditional medicine, the feet contain many reflex points directly linked to internal organs in the body. When these points are stimulated, blood circulation is improved, energy is balanced, and overall health is enhanced.

Why choose foot reflexology therapy?

Benefits for physical health

The feet are a miniature map of the body, with each area corresponding to a specific organ. For example, the big toe is linked to the brain, while the heel is associated with the pelvic region. By targeting these reflex points, we can adjust the functioning of the corresponding organs.

As a result, foot reflexology therapy can help reduce pain in areas such as the head, neck, shoulders, back, and joints. It also assists in alleviating symptoms of headaches, migraines, and menstrual pain.

Stimulating the reflex points on the feet also enhances digestive function, reducing bloating and indigestion. Moreover, this therapy strengthens the immune system, helping the body defend against illnesses more effectively.

Additionally, the therapy stimulates blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells, while removing toxins from the body. Therefore, Sống Spa’s traditional foot reflexology treatment is especially suitable for office workers and those with a sedentary lifestyle.

Before starting the treatment, Sống Spa will prepare a tranquil space with soft lighting and pleasant aromas. Guests will enjoy a relaxing foot soak in warm water with sea salt or antibacterial essential oils to cleanse and relax the muscles. Afterward, the feet are dried and gently massaged to soften the muscles, preparing for the detailed reflexology steps.

The process begins with warming up the feet and stimulating blood circulation. The therapist uses the palms and thumbs to gently massage from the toes to the heels, combining circular motions around the ankles and the top of the feet. After warming up, they will apply precise pressure on key reflex points such as Tai Xung, Dung Tuyen, Thai Khe, and Noi Dinh. These points help reduce tension, improve blood circulation, support digestion, and boost the immune system.

Following the reflexology, the entire foot is gently massaged to relax the muscles and stimulate blood flow. The therapist uses the palms and fingers to glide gently from the heel to the toes, rotating and stretching the toes to relieve pressure. At the end of the session, a gentle tap on the feet completes the relaxation process, followed by the removal of massage oils and a rest period of 10-15 minutes.

Foot reflexology therapy at Sống Spa not only helps you relax but also provides comprehensive health benefits. With a professional procedure, accurate reflexology techniques, and a relaxing environment, this therapy has become the go-to choice for those who wish to naturally and effectively care for their health.
