The art of using reflex points of the feet to promote health and healing dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China. There is evidence of this being practised in China as long ago as 4,000 B.C. and also at the same time in Egypt, 

as depicted in the tomb of Ankmahor. 

The North American tribes of Indians are known to have practised a form of foot therapy for hundreds of years.

 It was not until the early 1900’s this wisdom was brought to the Western world. In the 1920’s Dr William Fitzgerald developed 'Zone therapy’. He believed 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 known as reflexology. Her opinion was that congestion or tension in any part of the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body.

 

Reflexology today, is a gentle holistic therapy which aims to restore imbalances of the mind, body or spirit. 

Each organ or system has a corresponding ‘reflex’ on the foot (or hand). By stimulating these reflexes the body then responds by identifying imbalances within the body's systems (what ones aren't functioning properly) rebalances them and begins to heal.

 

Reflexology works on an individual basis and may alleviate and improve a wide variety of symptoms. 

 

 When we are deeply relaxed, the body will organically open up towards healing. What reflexology does is to assist you through the process of unblocking any stagnation or blockages accumulated over time through stress and other ailments (85% of illnesses are caused by unmanaged stress). When stress is not addressed properly, it can lead to chronic illnesses over time. Stress can be emotional or physical, with causes ranging from work, relationships, moving house, having a baby or generally any changes or activities that challenge your health and wellbeing.

Depression, Stress & anxiety
