Reflexology In History
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 therapy or as part of a holistic healing and natural health care program.
Modern Reflexology
Reflexology as it's know today is a modernized science of stress relief and healing, commonly referred to as a complementary therapy.
It is the practice of stimulating nerves on the feet, hands and/or ears, in order to encourage a beneficial effect on some other parts of the body, or to improve general health. Reflexology is most commonly performed on the feet though both hands and ears may be included.
Reflexology introduced into North America
In 1913 by 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®.
