Self-Reflexology for Plantar Load, Mobility, and Impact Recovery: A Functional Approach

Self-reflexology is a functional approach to foot care that treats the foot as three interconnected systems: the arch for load distribution, the toes for mobility and forefoot control, and the heel for impact absorption and recovery. Rather than providing temporary relief, consistent self-reflexology restores the foot's ability to handle stress efficiently by redistributing tension in the arch, restoring toe mobility, and decompressing the heel, ultimately reducing overall foot fatigue and improving long-term foot function.
