Legs & Feet

LEGS & FEET

Many of our emotions and tiredness gets stored in our legs. They have the weight of our bodies and movement. It is important to release tension in the legs and feet so that actions like crawling, balancing, and walking are possible and made easier for your baby. For children, regular leg massages can prevent the often-reoccurring growing pains.

In the same way, our feet can carry us and support us. I would also like to emphasize here that our feet are connected to the whole bodily system. It is for this reason that reflexology bases its therapy on triggering or pressing on localized points in the feet as it relates to all the body’s organs. The acupressure point introduced here is called the solar plexus. It calms the body, triggering the nervous system and is also linked to all the digestive organs.

With this said, it is great to start with the legs and feet as they are the ones that need to relax the most. The big, active muscles can really benefit from relaxation.

We begin the massage with an Indian massage to awaken the emotional pathway towards the extremities, it works on a subtle level on the nervous system to melt away tension from the muscles before the muscle work. The sequence ends with a Swedish massage that brings blood flow and lymphatic fluids back towards the heart for circulation and filtration.
