Whilst 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 as ‘zone therapy’. He noted that reflex areas on the feet and hands were linked to other areas and organs of the body within the same zone.
In
the 1930’s Eunice Ingham further developed this zone theory
into what is now known as reflexology. She observed that congestion or
tension in any part of the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part
of the body.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy, which works on the feet to help
heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms.
