Features: Foot massage, originally known as zone therapy, involves dividing the body into ten vertical zones and the sole of the foot into ten zones. The body is also divided horizontally into horizontal lines such as the head, chest, abdomen, and buttocks, and the sole of the foot is similarly divided into these horizontal lines. This is a therapeutic method that stimulates the zones on the sole of the foot to reflect the body's zones, based on zone theory. This method evolved into mapping out the reflex zones of organs and glands on the foot according to their arrangement in the human body, creating a miniature human body. Stimulating these reflex zones on the foot reflects the positions of organs and glands in the body for treatment, which is also known as foot reflexology. Because it stimulates reflex zones on the foot, it is also called foot reflexology. The feature of foot reflexology lies in the reflex zones, so it is directly referred to as foot reflex zone health. In terms of the operation of stimulating the reflex zones on the foot, it is naturally called foot massage.
