Answer 2

Very briefly, in ancient societies there was a belief that the body parts are represented on points of the sole of your feet, top of your feet, toes and ankles. For example, the Achilles Heel (back of the ankles) is said to represent a woman's reproductive system, so if you have a pain there or if it is painful when you massage or press that point, it means you have a problem in that area. Correct massaging will release the tension and can alleviate the problem, but it can also be painful

Answer 3

reflexology is the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes the hands and ears, with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to improve general health.
