They're like free massages! Hope you don't mind my linking this to my blog Thank you! Post a Comment. The tourists who pass by them in the city parks of South Korea call them reflexology paths. But, to the people of South Korea what the tourists have just seen are barefoot parks with a barefoot shiatsu course.
Reflexology is viewed as the targeting of specific areas of the feet and hands. Korean nursing schools and journals are at the forefront of research into reflexology. By one calculation, some 59 research studies have been published in nursing journals or as graduate school thesis and dissertations in the past twenty years. Hand, foot and self-help reflexology are each tested.
For some paths, a scenic overlook, sculptures or a lake is featured or a Buddhist temple is the destination. At least 22 parks within the city of Seoul are barefoot parks. Some report the inclusion of up to 28 different kinds of rocks. A design seen frequentlyβand unique to South Koreaβis an embedded stone walkway with the sole of a foot in a color of stone different from that of the path as a whole.
