Feet
The feet, in our reading, have something to do with one’s “standpoint”: how we stand in life, whether we get ahead. At the Kyborg Institute this is an expressly personal, worldview-based view.
The “standpoint” – our reading
With foot complaints our reading invites self-reflection: Do I stand well? Have I perhaps gone too far? Do I have fear of the next step? These are pictorial questions – no diagnoses and no claims about causes.
Foot massage as a wellness offering
A foot or reflex-zone massage can be pleasant and relaxing and foster attentiveness towards the body. It is, however, no remedy or preventive against illnesses and replaces no medical treatment.
When to see a doctor?
- With persistent pain, swelling, numbness or signs of inflammation, have it clarified by a doctor.
- With diabetes, take foot wounds especially seriously and have them medically cared for.
- Understand the symbolic view as a supplement, not as a treatment.

Frequently asked questions
What do the feet mean from the view of the Kyborg Institute?
We read them symbolically as our 'standpoint' – how we stand in life and get ahead. Complaints we read as an invitation to self-reflection. That is a worldview-based reading, no medical statement.
Does foot reflex-zone massage prevent 'all illnesses'?
No. That statement we have removed. A foot massage can be pleasant and relaxing – but it is no remedy or preventive and replaces no medical treatment.
When to see a doctor?
With persistent foot pain, swelling, numbness, wounds (especially with diabetes) or signs of inflammation, please have it clarified by a doctor.
