A Rocky Road for Smoother Health


Posted by Emme L.

For a new twist on improving your physical and mental well-being, turn to traditional Chinese medicine and the principles of reflexology. In China, walking on the uneven surface of cobblestones stimulates and regulates "acupoints" located on the soles of the feet. Researchers from the Oregon Research Institute (ORI) scientifically proved that walking on a cobblestone-like mat lowers blood pressure and improves balance. "These are very exciting results," notes John Fisher, Ph.D., one of the lead scientists on the study. "Compared to conventional walking, the experience of walking on the river rock-like surface of these manufactured cobblestone mats improved participants' balance, measures of mobility, as well as reducing their blood pressure."
