"Leonardo Da Vinci described the feet as "a masterpiece of engineering".
The foot is made up of 26 bones, 19 muscles and about 30 joints. The foot has many functions. It performs as a lithe shock absorber to the ground.
The foot bones with their muscles, tendons are designed for supporting our body, for strength, mobility, balance and leverage in motion.
The feet support a person during the entire life. For this reason, it is important to take care of them properly.
In the antique, the feet of women were a sacred symbol of fertility. In the mythology and folklore, male feet were associated with strength and adventure.
From a spiritual perspective, feet are the contact to the ground and the earth and therefore are linked to the earth energies.
Reflexology believes that the feet reflect the entire body like a mirror. Treating feet affects therefore the full body.
