About Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy, treating the mind, body, and spirit, and is a wonderful treatment to experience.

An ancient healing therapy, Reflexology in its earliest form dates back to ancient Indian, Chinese, Egyptian, and native American cultures, where evidence of massaging and treating the feet to bring about healing exists.



HISTORY OF REFLEXOLOGY

In the early 20th century Dr William Fitzgerald introduced the West to 'Zone Therapy' after noting that reflex areas on the hands and feet were linked to other areas and organs within the same zone.

Dr Eunice Ingham further developed 'Zone Therapy' to Reflexology as we now know it, observing that congestion or tension in any part of the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body.
