Knowing and addressing particular pressure points will turn a basic foot massage into a therapeutic intervention.Many pressure sites in the foot match many physiological components and systems.For stress alleviation, find and activate the solar plexus point in the middle of the foot; for spine alignment, use the inner edge point; for chest and heart benefits, use the ball of the foot.For best efficacy, each point calls for distinct pressure levels and handling approaches.Invest more effort on topics that seem more sensitive as these usually highlight to regions that require work.Work these spots methodically, maybe beginning at the toes and working down to the heel.Record which points—for headaches, stomach problems, or sleep difficulties—offer the most relief for your particular concerns.
