Stimulating the pressure points on the feet has been used to help alleviate pain and promote relaxation and healing since the
time of the Egyptians.
The pressure point system includes points on the feet and hands
that correspond to specific areas of the body. When pressure is applied to these points, the related part of the body is affected, relaxing tension and helping the body seek its own balance and health.
