Over-looked and over-utilized the feet carry you through life.

Reflexology interacts with structures of the foot to help heal the feet so you want to move more.

Reflexology helps the body circulate nutrients and remove waste, making the body work and feel better.

Reflexology provides deep relaxation and a recalibration of the nervous system making the mind clearer and the body more rested.

Located in each foot are 7200 nerve endings and a map of your entire body. Let’s maximize these access points and improve your daily living.

Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes of focused attention to the feet and their muscles, tendons and reflexes.

history of reflexology

The practice of Reflexology may have a long history stemming from the distant past. For instance, in Egypt, in the physician’s tomb (2300 BC) there is a pictograph which may be evidence of Reflexology being applied. Throughout Asia, several examples of the Buddha’s foot depicting a map of corresponding areas of the body are widely known.

The reflexology I learned is based on the work of two American physicians, Dr. William Fitzgerald and Dr. Joe Shelby Riley in the 1920’s. Together they experimented with dividing the foot into vertical and horizontal zones and mapping the body on this grid. Eunice D. Ingham, a physiotherapist, worked closely with Dr.’s Fitzgerald and Riley and developed their knowledge into a usable therapy and reflexology map. Eunice Ingham was responsible for teaching groups of people her method of Reflexology in the late 1930’s through the early 70’s. She started a grassroots following of individuals helping each other with Reflexology in the US. You can still study her original method at the International Institute of Reflexology.

definition of reflexology

Reflexology is a scientific art based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears, which correspond to all body parts. The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger, and hand techniques result in stress reduction that causes a physiological change in the body.

Massage works from the outside in…

reflexology works from the inside out.

The American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB) defines reflexology as “a non-invasive, complementary modality involving thumb and finger techniques to apply alternating pressure to reflexes shown on reflex maps of the body located on the feet, hands, and outer ears.”

Balance is a huge part of healthy feet and unfortunately shoes restrict our feet and make them weaker and unable to preform their primary function of walking on uneven surfaces.
