I get pedicures from a Korean salon owner. He does a foot massage as part of the service that is FABULOUS. I think he uses some form of Asian reflexology or something- it's much more than just getting a "foot rub." I look forward to it and would go daily- skip the nail polish- just for the foot massage part.The last one I had, that evening my feet were sore. The next day I felt very tired and lethargic. Is this normal? What happens when those foot nerves are worked on?
Answer:
he might have worked on ur feet for too long. I know a woman who bought a foot maasager and used it for a couple of hours..and she couldnt walk for like a day. it's only because he overworked the nerves.. nothing to worry about.
I believe it is suppose to release toxins out of your body and relax parts of you that you didn't know existed. So, if you smoke or drink or eat a lot of unhealthy foods, then it could be the toxins getting out of your body. Drink alot of water to help it get out faster and easier. Anything can happen when it comes to rubbing a foot!
It sounds like reflexology. You can be sore after that,especially if there were some areas that indicated a problem. Reflexology point on the foot correspond to organ systems in the body. (For example, if you have a headache, squeezing the nail of the right pinky toe can help relieve it.) When if contacting those points it causes pain, there may be a problem with that organ system and the reflexologist will massage that area to facilitate healing. It is all based on the Meridian Line Theory used in Chinese Medicine. http://www.dorlingkindersley-uk.co.uk/st... As far as feeling tired and lethargic, that can happen after any type of massage. During a massage your circulation increases and those effects can last long after the massage is over. If you had toxins or other types of poisons in the muscle tissue, they massage works them out and they are dumped into the system all at once, causing a tired-y lethargic feeling. Its why your massage therapist tells you to drink lots of water after a massage.Reflexology is the same. He may have contacted some points that stimulated the circulation or stimulated your body to detoxify. Most likely,you really needed whatever it was that the therapist performed.
sometimes your muscles can get very sore from a massage, especially if it is a deep one, its like when you go and work out really hard at the gym. you need to make sure you drink a lot of water to help flush out the toxins so they don't resettle in you body somewhere else. this will also help to combat the soreness and flu-like symptoms you may be expirencing.
to feel tired... maybe extra relaxed, but if you are fatigued you need to up your water intake.
this guy sounds fab, a good reflexologist is a good thing to have!
I personally ALWAYS FEEL GREAT the day + the day(s) afterwards. This is why I go to a similiar service in my town down the street atleast once a week. It helps lower back a lot as well as for total relaxation :o)
