Benefit

We can say about this type of massage that it is slightly different in impact from other types of massage. Most massage techniques work directly on the muscles. By performing this procedure, in addition to the effect on the muscles, there is a beneficial effect on the entire body. This is explained by the fact that in the area of ​​the feet there are a large number of biologically active points, which in turn are responsible for the condition of the body as a whole.

Let's give an example: in the area of ​​​​the feet there are many active points connected directly to the spine. Therefore, by stimulating certain points, you can get rid of back pain, as well as completely solve problems with the spine.

Perform soft circular movements over the entire surface of the leg, using the buttock area.
