Traditional use

Traditionally worked across the heel and then up behind the ankle as the closing part of a lower-limb sequence.

Reflexology is a traditional practice, not an evidence-based medical treatment. Systematic reviews have not shown it to be effective for any medical condition. These maps document what practitioners traditionally use — they are not claims about how the body works.

Care and caution

Siyatik hatti topuktan Asil tendonu boyunca iki ayak bilegi arkasina uzanir. Bu bolge gebelikte geleneksel olarak KACINILAN alanlardandir; gebelikte burada calisilmaz. Baldirda veya ayak bileginde tek tarafli sislik, isi, kizariklik, hassasiyet ya da yeni baslayan agri varsa DERIN VEN TROMBOZU dusunulmelidir: bu alanda kesinlikle calisilmaz ve ayni gun tibbi degerlendirme gerekir. Varis uzerinde, acik veya enfekte deride, yakin zamanli yaralanmada ve duyusu azalmis diyabetik ayakta calisilmaz.
