What is Reflexology?
The art of Reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China. It wasn't until about 1910 that it was introduced to the West as 'Zone Therapy' by Dr. William Fitzgerald, an American physician.
This therapy was further developed by Eunice Ingham, the 'Mother' of Reflexology. She was the first person to map out the organs on the feet, as she discovered that congestion or tension in any part of the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body.
During the last decade, Reflexology has been further researched and developed. The methods being used are a combination of Reflexology based on oriental medicine and acupuncture, zone therapy and stimulation of points corresponding to nerve endings.
Reflexology is the technique of applying controlled pressure to points and zones on the feet and/or hands in order to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance.
Reflexology does not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe.
