Foot massage method

One of the commonly used methods of foot massage is called single food boxing, which stimulates the relevant parts with the joints of the index finger. It is mainly used on the soles of feet, because according to the distribution of reflex zones of feet, there are many visceral reflex zones in the soles of feet, which must be strong to play an effective stimulating role. The inside of the foot and the surface of the foot are periosteum, so it is necessary to stimulate it gently, not too much, which is easy to hurt the periosteum.

Five reflex zones must be selected for foot massage and health care: the first reflex zone is the celiac plexus; The second reflex zone is the spleen; The third reflex zone is the kidney; The fourth reflex zone is ureter; The fifth reflex zone is the bladder. These five reflection areas are the five reflection areas that must be strengthened at the beginning or end of massage.

When doing foot massage, it should vary from person to person and be used flexibly. When pressing this part, it should be moderately stimulated continuously, preferably with normal tenderness. It should be concentrated in the most sensitive tender part of the reflex zone. When visceral diseases occur, there will be a feeling of acupuncture in the reflex zone corresponding to both feet. In addition, when doing foot massage, keep the room quiet, clean and ventilated. Before massage, wash your feet with warm water to relax. Before massaging each acupoint and pathological reflex zone, the pain points of acupuncture-like reflex should be measured so as to be targeted. Patients should drink a cup of warm water within 30 minutes after massage, which is beneficial to the circulation of qi and blood, so as to achieve good massage effect.
