Immediate effect of flexing the toes during performing salat on hemodynamic status

Salat is a routine for Muslims and involves some physical movement. The process of Salat promotes many physical and psychological benefits. One of the movements is the foot in flexion position during prostration and sitting. According to reflexology, flexing the foot and toes in foot massages techni...
