Massage or massage therapy
is performed primarily by a professional Massage
Therapist but is often used as a form of therapy by other
Healthcare practitioners such as
Chiropractors, Osteopaths and
Physical Therapists.
Foot or sole massage
Also known as reflexology, foot massage, as practiced by the Chinese is
performed in the context of chi, in that each spot on the sole of the foot
corresponds to an internal organ, and the applied therapy is healing to
one's overall well being. The theory supposes that an ailment of an
internal organ will be associated with the nerve ending on the sole of the
foot.
Before the massage, the patient's feet are soaked for about ten minutes in
a foot bath, typically a dark colored solution of hot water and Chinese
herbs. The massage therapist uses liberal amounts of medicated cream, to
moisturize the foot and to provide lubrication. The knuckles on the
therapist's hand are usually used to provide a hard and smooth implement
for the massage. As pressure is applied to the sole, theory holds that a
healthy patient should not feel any strong pain. Painful spots,
reflexologists believe, reflect illnesses of other parts of the body. The
practitioner rubs and massages the painful spots to break down rough spots
and accumulated crystals and increase circulation.
