In some bath houses they have this reflexology walk area, a technique whereby relfex areas in our feet are stimulated by pressure to generate a positive response in specific parts of the body, including ther nerves, organs, muscles, bones, endocrine glands (hormones) and other tissues.
There are ten different stones placed at the base of the hot spring water course. Each stone provides a different pressure and stimulaion to the tissue of your feet.
The benefits of reflexology are said to include relaxation of the body and mind relieving stress and tension: improvement of the circulation of blood and lymphatic systems and improvement of nervous lymphatic functioning.
Somebathhouses such as asia offers massages, reflexology, korean body scrubs and hydrotherapy baths.
(In korea) In the main bathing area: in the middle, there are two bathubs that can fit 20 people easily. One is filled with extremely hot water, and the other is filled with ice-cold water. The idea is that going in and out of these tubs from one to the other can help achieve the ideal level of circulation, as korean tradition says it helps with circulation.
