Why are healthy feet so important?
Our feet carry us thousands of kilometers through life and have to endure a lot in the process. If something is wrong with our feet, it usually affects our entire body. Dysbalances and imbalances can lead to pain in the knee, back or hip area, and can also cause headaches and, in the long run, lead to foot malformations. This chain of dysfunctions, i.e. problems that originate, for example, in the feet and subsequently affect other parts of the body, is called dysfunctions caused by "ascending chains". If the foundation is not correct, this results in incorrect movements in the rest of our body.
Why reflexology is so important for foot health
Reflexology is based on the assumption that our feet are connected to all organs and zones of our body through reflexive connections. The soles of the feet can be divided into different areas, the so-called reflex zones. Each of these areas is connected to a different part of our body and can be addressed by a pressure massage on the respective spot. Massaging the big toe, for example, can help with headaches, and massaging the heel, in turn, can help alleviate pain in the back.
But reflexology is said to have even more positive properties: it not only relieves physical pain, but also stimulates our body's self-healing powers, promotes blood circulation and improves our mental well-being.
The most common malformations and foot injuries are a:
- Splayfoot
- Flatfoot
- High arch
- Bending foot
- Hallux valgus bunion
It is also particularly common to have inflammation of the tendon plate on the bottom of the foot, called plantar fasciitis, which brings pain to the heel and sole of the foot. If you want to treat plantar fasciitis, then we recommend our foot trainers for stretching (especially the longitudinal arch of the foot) and massaging, such as the Triggerdinger foot wrap or the HighHealer.
How can I prevent foot issues?
- Regular foot training
- Trigger point and foot reflexology massage
- Walking barefoot
- Suitable shoes with a wide toe (the toes should not be squeezed)
- Balance training
- Alternating foot baths
