Foot reflexology massage in Basel
Foot reflexology is an alternative treatment method in which specific zones on the feet are stimulated in order to achieve positive effects on the entire organism and its systems.
This method is based on the theory that certain areas of the feet, hands and ears are connected to the internal organs. Targeted treatment of these reflex points can alleviate complaints and increase well-being.
The focus of the massage is primarily on the soles of the feet, toes, heels and the upper part of the toes in order to achieve the desired effects.

What is the basis of foot reflexology?
Reflexology is based on a similar concept to Chinese acupuncture, but differs in its theoretical approach. This method has its origins in the indigenous peoples of North and Central America. Dr. William Fitzgerald researched foot reflexology in more detail after discovering that massaging specific areas of the foot could alleviate discomfort. The knowledge of reflex zones has also been passed down and used in other cultures over generations.
This treatment method is based on the assumption that the left foot reflects the left side of the body and the right foot reflects the right side of the body – an assumption that is also applied to the hands. However, there is still no scientific explanation for the exact mechanisms behind these remote effects in the body.
When should I book a foot reflexology massage?
Foot reflexology has a generally positive effect on the body, as the feet are connected to various organs and muscle groups.
This form of therapy is versatile and is particularly effective for digestive complaints, chronic illnesses or inflammation. It can also help with stress, exhaustion, muscular tension, pain, a weakened immune system or cardiovascular problems.
In most cases, foot reflexology is used in addition to conventional medical treatments. To achieve lasting results, several sessions are often required, as continuous treatment is necessary to noticeably alleviate symptoms.
When should you avoid foot reflexology?
The health of the feet is a central aspect of foot reflexology. If there are open wounds, skin diseases or similar problems, this method should not be used.
This form of therapy is also unsuitable for acute vein problems, pronounced varicose veins, high blood pressure or serious health problems. In addition, pregnant women and people with mental illnesses are not advised to undergo foot reflexology.
If in doubt, it is advisable to consult a doctor before treatment to rule out any possible risks.
