Feet: Connecting to the Earth and Connecting to the Body

We often tend to take our feet for granted until they hurt or we put them in the wrong pair of shoes - then we notice them all the time. The feet are one the most sensitive areas of the body, connecting us to the Earth, and constantly giving us information about our environment. Walking barefoot over different surfaces stimulates the feet and gives us detailed information about where we are stepping. Each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings, which makes them an ideal site for reflex work. Reflexology works with the distal ends of the nervous system to communicate with all the tissues of the body. Reflexology also offers many benefits through relaxation. When performed well, it is one of the most relaxing forms of bodywork there is.
