The Difference Between Foot Massage And Reflexology

By Margarita Joseph


Though not quite documented, therapeutic reflexology was already performed in prehistoric times upon which maximum relief to the body and brain was claimed to be its very essence. For several centuries, the practice has been popular to individuals from every walk of life especially today that countless other benefits are discovered. However, foot massage Tucson and reflexology are two different things that are most people have often mixed up. Reflexology is a soleful touch used as an alternative medicine while foot massage is performed to alleviate anxiety and stress which can be attained at a day spa as a mere pampering service, not a healthcare service that addresses medical issues.

There are 7,000 nerves surrounding the feet which are waiting to be triggered. In reflexology, every organ in the body has specific zone in the feet that directly corresponds to it. Believed as an effective cure for various medical complications, patients and practitioners are certain that reflexology does not just bring recipients peace but overall healing.

On the other hand, foot massage also has benefits worth their weight in gold. This has been practiced for centuries. And though this rather has a pleasurable effect to the reflexes, this is considered as the simplest means to provide a deep state of relaxation especially to people who have been in constant chase with the frantic pace of daily living.

Tranquility and relaxation are the biggest benefits these can give to recipients. Mainly massaging both feet does not, however, guarantee perfect effect especially when the solar plexus reflex is not hit. It is through massaging the solar plexus reflex on both feet that the entire body is renewed as it releases all stress.

It stimulates better blood circulation. Blood flow gets clogged when people are stressed out. And since one's blood is the one that cleanses the wastes and toxins in the body, it will never be too impossible to develop a form of cancer as it happens.

This helps boost immunity. Reflexes stimulation brings about optimum healing and improves the capacity of the body to prevent harmful impacts of stress. A regular visit to a practitioner can get a person become insusceptible to diseases that have to do with stress.

With its restorative impact, recipients claim feeling highly rejuvenated and fully energized after getting a massage. It lifts mood and provides improved concentration or mind clarity. And pretty much like reflexology, it invigorates drained energy and harmonizes the whole body.

While reflexology is not recommended to those with broken leg bones, pregnant women and those who have their monthly period, a foot massage can be performed even with those who have serious health problems. The technique is not as painful as reflexology. It is done in the most painless, most pleasurable way.

Considering these critical difference between a therapeutic reflexology and a foot massage Tucson, people must be very considerate on their conditions and should not rush in taking any of the two. They have to seek out a trained practitioner so as to achieve the right amount of peace and healing. An alternative healing could be more suitable with their condition and not a treatment for pampering.
