Smooth Rotor. Speed 1

This is a technique for massaging the reflex areas the bodily organs have in the soles of the feet.

When an organ is not in perfect condition, the reflex area on the sole is painful when pressed.

A massage on this point will start a bodily reaction need for the organ to recover. When a masster plus massage is given to the whole sole, a large number of reflex terminals are stimulated.

Activity becomes more dynamic, the equilibrium of the organs is reestablished, a relaxing sensation appears and any pain present is relieved. The muscles are also relaxed and tension soothed and eliminated.

This massage is also good for discovering intense pain in any specific point. Should this occur, stop the massage and consult the Personalized Advisory Service.

REFLEX THERAPY

Even though reflex therapy is clinically accepted, its basis is often disputed. Dr. Ralf A. Dale, who studied the comparative mechanisms, considers the Chinese theory on mechanisms and reflex therapy have a common basis.

Reflex therapy had its origin in the USA when Dr. H. Fitzgerald (1872-1942) published his "Theory of Zonal Therapy" in 1917.

According to this work, the human body is divided, from the head to the toes and from the shoulders to the fingers into ten vertical zones, of which five reach the fingers of each hand and five the toes of each foot Many later investigators think Dr. Fitzgerald's theories to be personal interpretations of Chinese acupuncture.

Dr. Fitzgerald's theories were developed by Dr. Shelley, and the therapist Eunice D. Ingham, who located the corresponding points in the feet, and the physiotherapist Mildred Carter.

Today, there are several reputable schools of reflex therapy, the most important being those of Dr. D. C. Byers, a follower of Inghan, the German school of Dr. Anne Marquadt, F. Wagner's Canadian school and R.A. Polleti in Switzerland.

After the success of Eunice D. Inghan's popular work "Tales your feet could tell” (1938) and "Tales feet have told " (1951) this discipline has been the subject of numerous studies.
