The thin line just below the stem of the toes lays the area where the tops of the shoulders are represented and pressing this area will also help relieve strain. The side arc of the foot represents the entire length of the spine. Backache caused by high heels and uneven soles can be relieved by pressing the arc or rolling a massager on it. This will ease the tension the patient is feeling and allow blood to circulate and for oxygen to be distributed from the lungs. The heart pressure point is located on the soles of the feet directly below the big toes. If anyone should experience any of the symptoms while she is alone, hand reflexology can also be undertaken. This was first known as the 'Zone Therapy' and it was the American surgeon named William Fitzgerald who first studied these. In the studies that was conducted by Dr. Fitzgerald, he noted that there are zones that can be found on the hands, the feet and the tongue of the person and that all these zones are linked or connected to the many parts of the body. A full body and hand massage is recommended each day before breakfast. If a full body massage can be undertaken, then vital energy parts can be massaged such as the head, temples, face and ears to maintain good health. In reflexology, hand and foot massages are important, though in Ayurvedic, hand massages are for morning rituals and foot massages are for bedtime rituals to prepare the mind for a calm sleep. Make sure that you cover the whole foot at least twice, and the ankle should not be left out as well. While doing these actions, it is proper to ask your friend if you are doing it right. Or ask the person if he feels any pain due to the massaging actions that you are doing. If he says that there is pain, then what you can do is to apply pressure on the said area for at least 30 seconds and work on that same area. However, whether you have good or bad posture, sitting especially in front of the computer for an entire day can put so much strain on your upper body. Take time to stand up to stretch and bend your arms and back to refresh yourself. If the stiff neck has already gotten you before you knew it, massage the middle of the limbs of your fingers, where the middle knuckles are.
