The History of Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient healing therapy, which was practised
thousands of years ago by the Chinese and Egyptian people.
It was also known to some of the primitive tribes of Africa
and to the Red Indians. Reflexology was introduced to the
Western World in 1913 by Dr William Fitzgerald an American
Ear, Nose & Throat surgeon and was later refined by Eunice
Ingham in the later 1930's

What is Reflexology?
It is a natural healing therapy based on the principal that
every organ system and part of the body has a corresponding
reflex area or zone in the feet. As the Therapist applies
gentle, but firm, pressure to these reflexes it stimulates
the body's own natural energy flow and helps to release
any blockages in these energy pathways. This eases tension
and improves nerve and blood supply. Improving blood and
lymphatic circulation subsequently helps the elimination
of waste toxins accumulated within the tissues and cells
of the body. It also helps to bring vital nutrients to the
cells. Thus the free flow of energy restores balance to
the whole body. This gentle therapy encourages the body to
heal itself at its own pace.
What happens when I have a Reflexology treatment?
Your first visit will be slightly longer than subsequent visits
because it is one of assessment. Your feet will be examined
and any sensitive areas noted. Any slight discomfort should
not last and is the result of stress or an imbalance in that
particular part of the body. Areas for future treatment will
be identified. A general medical history and details of lifestyle,
diet etc., are noted. Treatment also includes a general relaxing
foot massage.
Reflexology may be carried out on the hands where conditions
prevent the treatment being performed on the feet. Many people
have a feeling of well being and relaxation after treatment,
which itself is of great benefit and reduces stress and tension.
The Reflexologist will want to know how you react to each
treatment in order to help plan subsequent treatments
