Psychological factors can apparently influence the effects of hand and foot diagnosis and treatment. Good cooperation between practitioner and patients, and active psychological and physical preparation before and after treatment are very useful for curing diseases. In addition, mental relaxation and happiness itself are good therapies. On the other hand, mental distress and depression may induce and cause the worsening of diseases. Psychological factors are equally important in this therapy and in other therapies.
First of all, practitioners are required to be qualified in the application of this therapy so they can quickly and correctly apply the correct manipulation. At the same time, they should maintain a quiet and confident mood when applying treatment, otherwise the patient may lose confidence and patience and the therapy will not produce the desired results. If the practitioner's explanations are ambiguous and not understandable or the manipulation is carelessly and clumsily applied, this will also ham-per successful treatment. The patient should continue this therapy over a long time to obtain the best results, because continually changing therapies may produce results contrary to their wishes. At the same time, he may be able to do some self-treatment under proper guidance from the practitioner.
Besides treating the body, the practitioner should also treat the mind, because psychological factors are important in the incidence and development of diseases. Patients may need more mental care than healthy individuals. Under proper instruction, the patient may learn how to adjust his mood, relax the mind, and take life easy for better health. The patient should also try to control bad temper and correct bad habits that are harmful to health and to the course of treatment.
Correct mental care can be a very helpful factor in preventing and treating diseases.
