Flat feet don’t just affect the feet—they influence how your entire body moves and balances. When the arches are low or collapsed, the feet may roll inward more than usual. This changes the alignment of the ankles, knees, hips, and even the lower back, which can lead to fatigue, tension, or discomfort over time.
When the arches aren’t supporting the body effectively, certain muscles and joints work harder to compensate. This is why flat feet can sometimes be linked to heel pain, knee strain, hip tightness, or lower back discomfort.

Reflexology becomes more effective to relive a pain from the feet if you understand the root cause of your flat feet(movement patterns, muscle imbalance) and becomes a reminder for an efficient movement long-term.

Here are informative Youtube videos about flat feet.

This video tells you about the biomechanics of flat feet and how to approach to hips and knees and feet"

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It happens when the plantar fascia—a thick band of connective tissue running from the heel to the toes—becomes overloaded and irritated. This tissue supports the arch of the foot and helps absorb shock during walking and standing.
A classic sign is sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning or after rest, which may ease as you move but return after long periods of standing or activity.

In plantar fasciitis, pain is rarely just about the heel—it’s often about how the foot and the rest of the body are functioning together. It is important to understand the biomechanics; how your body moves and how forces travel through it.

Key biomechanical factors include:
-Hip, knee, or ankle alignment and weakness
-Gait patterns (how you walk)
-Over-pronation or under-pronation
-Tight calves or Achilles tendon

When foot mechanics are unbalanced, the plantar fascia is placed under repeated strain, slowing healing and increasing the risk of chronic pain. Understanding biomechanics helps us to identify why plantar fasciitis developed, not just where it hurts and address root causes, not only symptoms.

Reflexology helps to relieve a pain of plantar fasciitis, but physiotherapy and exercise at home also help with improving foot function, flexibility, movement patterns. Understanding the root cause of fasciitis can reduce stress on the plantar fascia and support long-term recovery.

In Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), there are six meridians on the legs, energy pathways that connect to different organs. What makes TCM interesting is that they consider those meridians support us mentally.

🌿Stomach meridian: Supports mental grounding, stability, and healthy emotional digestion.

🌿Spleen meridian: Governs clear thinking, focus, and worry regulation.

🌿Bladder meridian: Supports stress release, restoring calm, and emotional detox.

🌿Kidney meridian: Governs willpower, courage, and managing fear.

🌿Gallbladder meridian: Supports decision-making, courage, and determination.

🌿Liver meridian: Regulates anger/resentment/ irritation, smooth flow of Qi(energy), patience, and emotional resilience.

Reflexology and massaging on the meridians unblock the energy flow in the meridians and helps restore the balance of emotion.

Adrenal fatigue became a widespread wellness term because it offers a simple, relatable explanation for how people feel under chronic stress.

- Constant tiredness
- Trouble waking up
- Cravings for salty foods
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Mild body aches
- Poor sleep

Stress causes the adrenal glands to become overstimulated.
The adrenal glands help your body respond to stress by releasing hormones such as:
-Cortisol (responds to stress + regulate energy)
-Adrenaline (fight-or-flight response when you feel stress, fear, excitement, or danger)
-Aldosterone (fluid balance)

They are part of the endocrine system and play a big role in how the body handles physical and emotional stress. Over time, this is believed to lead to lower or irregular hormone output.

Reflexologists work on the Adrenal Gland Reflex to help with coping with your stress.

Why does my stomach rumble during a reflexology session?

Some people notice that the stomach starts to rumble during a Reflexology session. Some people may also feel gurgling, warmth in the belly. It is a common reaction of Reflexology, and it is a sign that Reflexology is working.
That sound happens when the digestive system becomes more active. Reflexology promotes relaxation and helps shift the body into a parasympathetic state. It’s often called the “rest and digest” mode, because it does the opposite of the “fight or flight” (sympathetic) response.

Here is what happens in the parasympathetic state:
✨Digestive activity often increases.
(The stomach and intestines may contract more, producing rumbling sounds.)
✨Heart rate slows down
✨Breathing becomes deeper and calmer
✨Muscles relax
✨Mind feels calmer
✨Blood flow returns to internal organs instead of being pushed to muscles like in stress mode

Stomach noises usually indicate that the body is responding positively and beginning to release stress and the parasympathetic system is working.
Reflexology helps the body shift into this healing, balancing state.

Feet&Peace offers both Western Reflexology and Asian Reflexology to tailor the service depending on the preference of clients. You can pick whichever you are drawn to.

Characteristics of Western Reflexology
Intensity: Gentle pressure
Technique: Finger walking technique, which is caterpillar-like movement of the thumbs and fingers
Trait: Relaxing, calming
Method: Techniques are based on Ingham method developed by Eunice Ingham, who started in the US
Populality: Popular in Western countries

Trait: Refreshing, rejuvenating
Method: Techniques are based on Rwo Shr method

For both Reflexology, I use and meridian(energy pathway of the body) massage and acupressure points based on Chinese medicine. Acupressure points is to improve blood flow and life energy called Qi running flowing through Meridians which correspond to particular organs or system. Qi is believed to control the human mind and body and protects the body from the illness. Chinese medicine believes that disease arise when the flow of Qi/ life energy in your body is weak or overabundant and the pathway of Meridian is full or blocked. Acupressure and Meridian massage is the way to improve the flow of Qi/life energy.
