What is Reflexology
Reflexology is a complementary therapy, which works on the feet to help heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms. The art of Reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China, it wasn’t until 1913 that Dr William Fitzgerald introduced this therapy to the west, which back then was called ‘zone therapy’. He noted that reflex areas of the feet and hands were linked to other areas and organs of the body within the same zone.
Further development by Eugice Ingham in the 1930’s developed zone therapy into what we now know as Reflexology, observing congestion or tension in any part of the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body.
