 Whilst
the therapy 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. It does not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe. How can this therapy help me ? Who can benefit ?
This therapy is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. After you have completed a course of treatment for a specific condition, many people find it
beneficial to continue with regular treatments in order to maintain
health and well-being.
While many people enjoy the treatment as a way of relaxing the mind and body and counteracting stress, at the same time many doctors, consultants and other health care professionals recognise reflexology as a well established, respected and effective therapy.
With ever increasing levels of stress, it is important that we take more responsibility for our own health care needs. Reflexology can help you to cope on a physical, mental and emotional level thereby encouraging us to heal and maintain health in all areas of our lives.
