What is a Foot Zone?
The foot zone technique is based on the premise that the human body has an energy system that runs through it. Each organ and system in the body runs on energy. Those energy systems have pathways which lead to connecting points in the extremities such as the hands, feet, and ears. Extensive study has been done to find the energetic connections of all parts and systems of the body and where they connect to specific points on the foot. In a foot zone, the practitioner will work on the connection points in the foot that correspond with every organ and system in your body to encourage the energy to open and flow in the way that it needs to in order to facilitate healing throughout the entire body. When the foot zone therapist finds a blocked signal in the foot they work to open it up which encourages the energy to flow smoothly throughout the body, promoting healing and balance.
