“…it depends on each of us to change it today and the future genetics will change.”
Bunions (“Hallux Valgus”, named by Carl Heuter in 1870) are a bump, sometimes with additional bone growth, painful or not, on the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. This bump is caused by a medial deviation of the head of the first metatarsal and a deviation of the big toe (Hallux) towards the other toes. Normally, is considered a deviation with more than 15 degrees. The big toe abducts and often rotates; the lesser toes can be affected also resulting in corn formations.

Arteries supply blood to the feet and nourish them. Veins return blood to the heart. Have you ever imagined carrying blood from your feet back to the heart, overriding the existing pressure?

There are anatomical and biomechanical characteristics that contribute to the blood return to the heart.
We have a truly and a perfect pumping system in the feet!

Sesamoid bones are important for a normal mechanics of the first Metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) and of the Hallux (Great Toe)!
Let´s find out how!
Sesamoid from the Greek “sesamoeidés”, as its shape is like a sesame seed. It seems that “sesamum” was first used by Galen about 180 A.D because these little bones resembled the seeds of “Sesamum indicum” plant.

Los JUANETES ("Hallux Valgus", denominado así por Carl Heuter en 1870) son una protuberancia, a veces con formación ósea adicional, dolorosa o no, en la articulación metarsofalángica. Esta protuberancia se genera por una desviación medial de la cabeza del primero metatarsiano y una desviación del primero dedo (“Hallux”) hacia los demás dedos. Los JUANETES también pueden inflamarse.
Es una patología muy común en los pies de los adultos, con mayor incidencia en las mujeres.

The client had tinnitus in both ears. She used to feel a continuous tinnitus since 2014. In 2018, she had an hearing loss on the left side. She made exams, resonances and consulted some medical experts. Nothing was detected and nothing they could do. A medical expert advised her for consulting a complementary therapy.

"Pessoalmente, verifiquei que com a realização de cerca de seis sessões de reflexologia, clientes que sofriam de insônia viram o seu sono tornar-se mais regular e sem interrupções, além de sentirem mais energia e melhor disposição durante o dia."

"A população sénior, sendo mais vulnerável e muitas vezes dependente, precisa de cuidados, de atenção e de algo que lhes dê força, ânimo e vitalidade. A Reflexologia é uma resposta natural e eficaz a esse desafio."
