What is a Cobblestone Foot path?

The FOOT CHI™ COBBLESTONE FOOTPATH is a lightweight and portable tool used to apply acupressure from the bodies own weight, to the reflex points of the foot. FOOT CHI™ is designed to emulate ancient stone reflexology pathways found throughout Asia.

The Origin and History of Reflexology:

The use of Reflexology dates back to over 5,000 years. Substantial information suggests that its origins lie in China, India and Egypt. Today throughout China, many parks and cities incorporate Reflexology footpaths as part of their recreational facilities. Cobblestone walking has been used in conjunction with TaiChi, Yoga, QiGong, and KungFu, as a tool to strengthen and heal the body from within.

Foot Reflexology Theory:

Foot Reflexology is a non invasive natural healing art which is gaining widespread popularity. Foot Reflexology is an applied pressure therapy that involves stimulating reflex points on the foot. The foot acts as a map of the entire body, where the reflex points correspond to the vital organs, muscles, and glands. Over time, gravity causes a substance called uric acid to settle in reflex points of the foot. Uric acid, when concentrated, may produce a cord, or granule like bubble that may be painful upon stimulation. In many Asian medical systems, this is known as a "stagnation" of "energy" or "chi". Without the proper flow of energy, all body/mind systems are affected leading to an ill state of health. By stimulating the reflex points and nerve endings of the foot, the uric acid can be broken up, and the stagnant energy freed. This process helps to increase blood circulation and metabolism, thereby reducing the stress and workload upon the heart. It has also been known to help regulate hormone imbalances via nerve/brain pathways, thus creating a sense of calm, energy, clarity and vitality*.

Research:

In a recent study conducted by the Oregon Research Institute (ORI), Cobblestone Footpath exercise has bee studied with positive results.
