Chinese Foot Massage

Learn this very popular therapy...
Your clients will love it!

Foot massages are a simple and effective way to better health. According to Chinese Medicine, the foot is, in fact, a separate body, which is directly related to all of our body parts and organs. There is an old saying that goes, "when trees age, their roots age first, when people age, their feet age first".

The foot is divided into many different vital-energy sections, which can treat different areas of the body. By massaging a section of the foot, the corresponding body area receives specific therapeutic treatment, adjusting bodily functions, improving blood circulation and metabolism.

Traditionally, before massage, the patient's feet are soaked in hot water for about 10 minutes in a wooden barrel or foot bath, typically with a selection of herbs until the feet are warmed. Once the feet are cleaned and rested, the masseur will apply a thick layer of oil or lotion onto the lower legs and feet and then rub and knead every point of the soles. The massage lasts for about an hour. The course is suitable for Reflexologists and Massage Therapists.
