The Reflexology Revolution: Unraveling the Science of Occipitopedal Therapy

A Pioneering Treatise

This foundational work by Guy Boitout and Jean-Pierre Vadala establishes the scientific principles and groundbreaking nature of occipitopedal reflexology. It meticulously explores the receptive and transmissive reflexogenic potential of the skin on the feet and a portion of the occiput.

Bridging Embryology and Neurophysiology

Through meticulous analysis of embryology and neurophysiology, the authors demonstrate how neural imbalances within any innervated organ trigger the reception and localized recording of information on higher nerve centers. These centers then “reverberate” this information onto the occipital screen, mirroring the activity of the reticular formation, and onto the plantar screen, an embryonic extension of our primordial brain.

Palpable Reflex Zones

Remarkably, these reflex zones manifest themselves as palpable changes in skin texture resulting from the interplay of vasomotricity and trophicity, regulated by the orthosympathetic system. When the reflex zones for all anatomical regions of the body are mapped, they collectively form an image reminiscent of a newborn in an unrolled breech position.

A Novel Discovery

This three-dimensional representation of the body on the feet, resembling a newborn in an unrolled breech position, is a pivotal discovery. It unravels a hidden connection between the body’s intricate network of nerve centers and the soles of our feet.

Zone-Specific Therapy

The second part of this groundbreaking work focuses on the occipital and plantar reflex zones. Each anatomical region is illustrated with original, three-dimensional modeling. The massage technique targets the epidermis and dermis of the occipital and plantar keyboards, where the pathways for fine tactile and epicritic sensations of the lemniscal system initiate. This precise stimulation triggers responses within higher nerve centers, leading to corrective actions for dysfunctional organs.

In summary, this seminal work sets the foundation for a revolutionary approach to whole-body healing. Occipitopedal reflexology empowers us with a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of our bodies and the profound healing potential that lies within the soles of our feet.
