Reflexology In History

---

Foot reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years in Asia and the origins of Reflexology reach back to ancient Egypt as evidenced by inscriptions found in a physician’s tomb at Saqqara in Egypt.   

We offer reflexology as an individual healing therapy and as part of a broader holistic healing and natural health care program.

Some of our clients call our reflexology treatment their "Guilty little pleasure"!

Reflexology In North America - A Brief History

---

• In 1913, William H. Fitzgerald, M.D. (1872-1942), an ear, nose, and throat specialist, and accompanied by Dr. Edwin Bowers introduced reflexology to North America.   At the time, he showed that applying pressure had an anesthetic effect on another area.
• Reflexology was further developed by Eunice D. Ingham (1899-1974), a nurse and physiotherapist, in the 1930s and 1940s.  Ingham found that the feet and hands were especially sensitive, and then mapped the entire body into "reflexes" on the feet.  
• Dr. Fitzgerald discovered a very interesting fact, pressure on the zones not only relieved pain but in the majority of cases also relieved the underlying cause as well. The same result is experienced through Reflexology today, which is based partially on the Zone Theory.
• Dwight C Byers, President of the International Institute of Reflexology is dedicated to preserving and promoting the unique healing of reflexology and the Original Ingham Method®.  We offer reflexology certification courses in Ontario.
