In the hidden corners of our feet, where the burdens of the day seem to manifest, lies a forgotten secret of healing - foot reflexology. In a dance of gentle movements and tender pressure, foot reflexology reveals its deep wisdom. The feet, often neglected yet so tirelessly carrying their load, become maps that show the way to the innermost secrets of our being or body.

Foot reflexology is more than a simple foot massage. It is an artful practice based on the notion that each area of our feet is connected to specific organs and systems in the body. The therapy session begins with a dialogue, discussing individual needs and any discomfort. Then, I take the time to examine and understand their feet - a body map that tells a story of their physical and emotional well-being. As a naturopathic practitioner of traditional European naturopathy, I intertwine foot reflexology with the theory of humoral medicine and the individual tendencies of your constitution to specifically influence the bodily fluids. This approach creates space for profound therapy that not only alleviates symptoms but addresses the root causes of imbalances on various levels.

The actual treatment is a choreography of gentle massages, pressure points, and circular movements. In this way, energy flow is harmonized, and the silence between the touches becomes a space for activating your natural self-healing powers. Massaging the feet addresses the entire body to promote harmonious balance and self-healing. At the same time, this artful therapy also offers targeted approaches to relieve specific conditions such as:

• Musculoskeletal system: Foot reflexology can specifically address muscular tension and pain in the musculoskeletal system. It supports muscle relaxation, promotes flexibility, and contributes to overall mobility.
• Lymphatic drainage: By targeted stimulation of reflex zones, foot reflexology can help promote lymph flow throughout the body. This can be particularly relevant for people with lymphatic issues. Stimulating the lymphatic system also activates the immune system and defenses.
• Hormonal imbalances: Premenopause, menopause, menstrual discomfort
• Sleep disorders: The soothing effect of the therapy can promote restful sleep and alleviate sleep disturbances.
• Emotional stress: The therapy not only works on the body but also on the emotional level, serving as supportive measures for stress, anxiety, and emotional strain, creating space for inner clarity.
• Stress and exhaustion: In the hectic everyday life, when exhaustion and stress set in, foot reflexology can provide an effective and healing break. The therapy helps to put the stressed body and mind into a state of deep relaxation. Thus, the therapy becomes a way to escape everyday stress, dive into a state of inner harmony, and recharge with new energy.

Foot reflexology is not only for those experiencing discomfort but also for those who recognize wisdom in prevention. A regular dance of touch can help maintain the body in a state of balance, identify potential imbalances early, and preventively counteract them. Foot reflexology is a relief, a pause in the hustle and bustle of life, a moment where the dance of touch alleviates the stress of everyday life. Foot reflexology therapy is therefore not only an answer to suffering but also a practice of caring for body, mind, and soul.

At the Hinterberg naturopathy practice in St. Gallen, we offer a holistic approach to your health that goes beyond individual therapy approaches. Foot reflexology can, for example, be harmoniously linked with phytotherapy. By integrating specific plant ointments into the massage or recommending targeted nutrition for your individual constitution, we create a comprehensive therapy experience.

Furthermore, other forms of therapy such as massages or trigger point therapy can be integrated into the treatment. Certain relaxation points stimulated during foot reflexology massage can also be supported in terms of auriculotherapy, for example, through targeted stimulation or sedation. This integrative approach allows us to consider your needs individually and offer holistic therapy.
