8 Techniques For A Foot Reflexology Massage That You Absolutely Have To Try

It is 6 PM by the clock. The day is done and you are tired to the bone. You slump down in your chair and think longingly of someone massaging your feet.

Well, you know what they say...if you cannot stop the dream, go make it happen.

HealthCure Massage is here to make the dream come true!

Have a look at some of our best foot reflexology massage techniques that will give you relief after a long tiring day.

To get your foot into the groove of the massage and enhance circulation in the soles of the feet, the warm-up twists are great!

The palms are laid on either side of the undersides of the foot.

The left side is pulled downwards while the right side is pushed upwards.

This creates a sort of friction and pumps blood through the foot, thus causing any blockages to clear up before the reflexology in Auckland’s HealthCure Massage.

Bend those toes, Auckland!

No massage is complete without the bendy toes. Not only is this technique really great from health aspects, but it is a great comfort to anyone who experiences it.

All it involves is pushing the toes backwards and forwards gently. It is a great way to increase flexibility and our therapists at the Flat Bush massage centre know their way around!

A simple but efficacious technique!

Hold the top of the foot with one hand.

Hold the bottom of the foot with the other hand.

Gently squeeze the heel with light pinches.

The amount of relief this massage provides is crazy!

The Achilles tendon is located at the rear of the ankle portion.

This area does receive immense strain and pressure especially in athletes, swimmers, sportspersons, etc.

The thumb and the index finger are placed on the back of the ankle in the region of the Achilles tendon.

A downward stroking motion is employed.

This improves blood flow in the area and relieves any strains or pains.

Though these warm-ups were part of the reflexology techniques, foot reflexology involves much much more.

The science of reflexology is stimulating the pressure points on the underside and soles of the feet. These pressure points are connected to the deeper organs and tissues and thus, any stimulation actually improves the health of those organs.

The body has an energy of its own.

This energy is called ‘chi’.

Throughout the body, there are meridians present.

These meridians are named according to the location of the body where they are in.

The energy flows through the meridians.

Any blockage of the ‘chi’, can cause complications in the body.

The pains, the lessened blood flow, the other problems can all be resolved once the flow of ‘chi’ has been improved.

Using the reflexology points to heal the body physically and psychologically, HealthCure Massage has a team of trained professionals who have put their minds together and thought up some amazing massages to calm your nerves.

Curl your toes.

There will be a slight depression that you spot just below the ball of the foot.

Gently massage the area in circles.

You will see how it improves your mental status and makes you feel loads better.

Using fists and knuckles to massage the feet works wonders. It creates a kind of pressure on the sore areas and breaks up any clots that might be present.

You will begin to experience relief from the strain.
