It was first used by the Indians, Egyptians and Chinese people. In 1913, Dr William Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat surgeon introduced this therapy to the west. He divided the whole body into 10 zones that were equal & vertical, ending in the fingers and toes. By applying pressure on one part of a zone could affect everything else in that zone. Therefore by applying pressure over the 10 zones in the feet, we are actually working the whole body. In the 1930's a therapist Eunice Ingham, developed zone therapy into foot reflexology, she found that the feet mirror the body exactly. This is how we use reflexology today. How can reflexology help you? The body has the ability to heal itself. If we have been suffering from an illness, stress or injury, the body will be suffering from an imbalance - the energy will not be flowing freely through the body, preventing the body from functioning efficiently. By using reflexology we can encourage the energy to move more freely through the body thus helping obtain its natural equilibrium & encourage healing. Who can benefit from reflexology? Since reflexology treats the whole person, not the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from treatment. The therapy brings relief to a wide range of acute & chronic conditions. Once your body is in tune, it is wise to have regular treatments in order to help maintain health & well being.
