Brazilian foot massage (Sunday, 26th of May) This is a very simple technique. The total treatment takes about twenty minutes and it has an extremely relaxing effect on the person receiving it. It is based on balancing meridian energy and the meridians involved are the spleen, liver, stomach, bladder, gallbladder and kidney meridians. This seminar also includes gait testing and balancing, using neurolymphatic points on the feet to correct walking pattern imbalances.
