Among the most complicated structures in our body, the human foot comprises 26 bones, over 7,000 nerve endings, and 107 ligaments.Reflexology points let these nerve endings link to different organs and systems, forming an amazing network that affects our general state of health.Massaging your feet not only relieves local muscular tension but also may affect the whole body's operation.Regular foot massages have been found in scientific research to increase circulation, lower cortisol levels—the stress hormone and  boost the body's innate healing mechanisms.Knowing the structure of the foot enables one to understand why certain massage techniques target particular medical issues.Massage's pressure activates these nerve endings, which signals the brain to help control several body processes like digestion and sleep cycles.This scientific basis helps to explain why many sportsmen and medical professionals support consistent foot massages as part of a complete health maintenance program.
