Via Sensus – Foot Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy that brings the entire body into balance through the massage of reflex points on the feet. Reflexology is an ancient method used to establish harmony throughout the body by improving energy flow. It originated in India and is now practiced on all continents. In some countries, it has been integrated with conventional medicine in order to achieve overall well-being for each individual.
The science of reflexology is based on the fact that there are certain reflex zones in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to all glands, organs and parts of the body. Specially designed polygons serve to stimulate reflex points on the user’s feet and thus positively affect the overall health of the body.
Reflexology is a method that helps the body achieve balance in all of its functions. It is also used as a form of prevention and as a method for maintaining harmony between the body’s systems and a healthy flow of energy. It does not focus solely on physical symptoms, but on the person as a whole. It pays great attention to emotions, as well as to each individual’s mental and spiritual state. Via Sensus is a path made of ceramic stones of various shapes that stimulate many zones in the body, particularly the feet. The surface of the stones stimulates the entire organism—respiratory pathways, the neck, digestion, and brain development. It relaxes muscles, improves energy flow throughout the body, breaks up blockages, and creates a lasting sense of relaxation.
Reflexology initiates the cleansing of the body, as it stimulates all the eliminatory organs and the lymphatic system, speeds up metabolism, improves circulation and calms the nervous system. It can also be of great help with skin problems such as dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo.
The benefits of using the Via Sensus polygon are numerous – from the proper development of the arches of the feet in children, to the strengthening of neurological connections in the peripheral and central nervous systems.
The advantages of using Via Sensus treatment are as follows:
- Better circulation
- Better flow of lymph and other body substances
- Improved muscle tone
- Healthier ligaments and tendons
- Improved posture
- Relief of stress and tension
Reflexology can help improve and alleviate a wide range of ailments. Respiratory system issues such as chronic and acute sinusitis, tinnitus, asthma, allergies, migraines, headaches, and more can be addressed through this method. Every part of the body is represented on the feet, forming reflex points that reflect each part of the body—essentially, the human body is mapped onto the feet. The right foot corresponds to the right side of the body, and the left foot to the left side. By applying specific massage techniques to these reflex points, we can detect where there is an energy blockage (imbalance) in the body and, at the same time, work to remove that imbalance or blockage.
When babies cry or experience certain discomfort, they usually reflexively rub their arms, legs, and stomach. This way they calm down in a certain way. Namely, there are reflex points on the palms and feet that correspond to certain organs. You can soothe your baby by massaging them with a foot reflexology chart.
