Chinese Foot Massage
Western medicine sees the foot merely as a machine composed of
26 bones, 56 ligaments and 33 joints.
To a practitioner of the traditional Chinese art of foot massage
however, the condition of the whole body is affected by the sole of the foot.
They believe each organ in the body is connected to a specific
reflex point on each foot through an intermediary of 300 nerves.
By a precise and skilful manipulation of these points, vital
functions can be stimulated, toxins eliminated, blood circulation improved and
nerves soothed. In short, top to bottom well-being is available through the
foot.
Traditionally, the massage begins with a pleasurable soaking of
the feet in a wooden barrel or foot bath containing a liquid medicine chosen
specifically for the client.
The heated medicine warms the feet.
After the client’s feet have been rested and refreshed, the
masseur or masseuse spreads a thick layer of lotion on the feet and calves and
then rubs and kneads every point of the soles.
Studies normally commence at 10.00 a.m. and finish at 5.00 p.m.
