What is Reflexology

What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a form of "alternative" or "complementary" medicine from China and Egypt involving massage of reflex areas found in the feet. Every part of both feet or hands corresponds to a part of the body with the right foot/hand representing the right side of the body and the left foot/hand representing the left side of the body. More recently, Reflexology was described in the form which it is known today by the late Eunice Ingham, an American lady, who based her method of treatment on work called 'Zone Therapy' which had been described some years earlier in the 1920's by an American, Dr. William Fitzgerald. The main pioneer of Reflexology in Great Britain was the late Doreen Bayly who introduced the method in the early 1960's and whose great determination to stimulate awareness and interest in the method should not be forgotten. Reflexology does not claim to be a 'cure-all' but numerous different disorders have been successfully treated by this method. These disorders include such things as migraine, sinus problems, hormonal imbalances, breathing disorders, digestive problems, circulatory problems, back problems and tension and stress. Most people who have experienced treatment would agree that the method can be most beneficial and is also a very relaxing therapy.
