Reflexology is a complimentary therapy, which works on the feet to help heal the whole body. The art of reflexology dates back to ancient Egypt , India and China, it wasn't until 1913 that Dr William Fitzgerald introduced this therapy to the west as ‘zone therapy’. In the 1930s Eunice Ingham further developed this zone theory into what is now known as reflexology. She observed that congestion or tension in any part of the foot mirrored in the corresponding part of your body. It is a science that deals with the principle reflex areas in the feet and hand which correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body.
