Full Balance reveals all-natural reflexology board

The board has been designed to replicate the effects of reflexology

Austrian-based Full Balance has created a Big Foot massage board for communal spa areas which guests stand on to "closely mimic the experience of professional reflexology treatments".

Reflexology, which works on energy pathways by stimulating specific parts of the feet, is known to have several benefits from aiding circulation and eliminating toxins to releasing muscle tension and combatting stress.

The board, measuring 34x34cm, has been designed to replicate that effect with its 94 stones and can be heated for added wellbeing.

Creator and CEO Kurt Wallner says "it not only delivers therapeutic benefits but also embodies the essence of nature," referring to the Alp-sourced stones and the choice of local pine, cherry or walnut wood bases.

Full Balance has also worked with a physiotherapist to develop a series of exercises to get the most from the experience – whether guests want to feel grounded, improve their mobility, stimulate all of the zones in their feet and more. It teaches these guides to therapists and provides descriptions for spas wanting to make signs.
