A little bit of history

Reflexology is an ancient system of healing used by many early cultures.  The earliest discovery that show just how old working with the feet for good health is,  is in Egypt.   Pictographs dated circa 2330-2350BC depict a scene of a physician working on a patients feet.
Research into the physiological reflex action began in the late 1890’s by German physicians and was further developed in the 1900’s by Dr William Fitzgerald and known as Zone Therapy.
Reflexology as we we practice it now, was developed even further during the mid 19th century by a pioneering physiotherapist, Eunice Ingham.   Known as ‘the mother of modern reflexology’  It was Eunice who mapped out the individual reflex points for all the organs, glands and parts of the body on the feet.
