The feet are an important part of the neuromatrix.

 The feet are an important part of the neuromatrix.

• The bottom of the foot is one of the most important parts of the body because of its role in survival. The feet helps us go out for lunch or the feet helps us avoid being lunch.

• Human locomotion requires an integrated response from the entire body. If this response malfunctions the results can be catastrophic. In the wild you could become someone’s lunch. 

• Information sharing is one of the most important things the body does and it does it through the reflexes. It contributes to movement intelligence. 

• Fighting gravity and remaining upright is quite the task. It require input from our postural muscles, internal organs and the bottoms of our feet.

• The bottom of the foot is a stress pattern that forms over a day and accumulates over a lifetime.

• By applying pressure to the bottoms of the feet you reset the stress pattern that exists immediately.

• The foot is built for rough terrain. Shoes and flat paved surfaces cause stress because of the sameness of experience for the foot and the body.

• The internal organs have to supply fuel and oxygen to make movement possible. Any interruption in their process means something potentially catastrophic can occur. 

• Most of us are tactually deprived. The very simple act of touching can have an impact. It feeds are sensory system. 

• The cutaneal reflex and the pressure reflex are what keeps us together. Unfortunately as we age these reflexes become weaker. However stimulating these reflexes can strengthen these reflexes.
