What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a science that maps out the key energy zones of the whole body on the feet. By pressing these specific areas of the feet, every organ, gland, muscle and body part is affected.
These techniques are unique to traditional reflexology and are different from the motions used in other types of massage.
History
Around the world and throughout history reflexology has been rediscovered and reinstated as a health practice time and time again by peoples around the globe seeking to deal with health concerns. Archeological evidence Egypt (2330 BCE), China (2704 BCE) and Japan (690 CE) points to ancient reflexology medical systems.
The precursor of modern reflexology was introduced to the United States in 1913 by William H. Fitzgerald, M.D. (1872–1942), an ear, nose, and throat specialist, and Dr. Edwin Bowers. Fitzgerald claimed that applying pressure had an anesthetic effect on other areas of the body.
More than 170 studies of reflexology's effects have been conducted, with 95 controlled studies. 90% of the studies show a positive result.
