About Reflexology

Reflexology is a Chinese and Indian system of diagnosis and treatment dating from 3000 BC, often used together with acupuncture. It is based on the belief that the whole body is represented on the foot (mostly on the soles of the feet), and that the internal organs can be stimulated by pressing particular areas of the foot (less commonly the hands).

 

The reflexology zones do not correspond exactly to either the nervous system or acupuncture meridians, but the same principles of illness due to ‘blockage’ of energy channels is applied as in traditional Chinese medicine. The method was first used in the West in 1913 by William Fitzgerald, an ENT surgeon interested in acupuncture.
