Foot & Hand Reflexology improve health

Visiting to the foot massage join is one of my favorite activity because it really make my feet lighter & body feeling better. On my trips to Thailand, visiting the food massage joint there is always top on my ToDo list. Traditional Thai foot massage uses special cream which is very different from those in Singapore. Moreover, the massage there is cheap & great @ only 139Baht(SG$6)/hr compare to Singapore Chinatown rates at SG$18/45min.

Foot reflexology (zone therapy) is an art to improve one health that have been practised in China & India more than thousands of years ago. Just like Tai Chi n Yoga is an art to improve our health. Its a natural healing art, based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body. By applying pressure in the form of massage to "tight" or "gritty" areas of a person's foot will stimulate the corresponding part of the energy body and assist the self-healing process. Contrary to some beliefs, reflexology does not seek to diagnose or cure medical conditions - merely imbalances in the energy of the body.

Found this interactive reflexology maps on the net & might come in handy for those desk bounded people like myself, to perform some basic massage during break time or after long hours of work. Interactive Foot Reflexology Maps & Hand Reflexology Maps.
