REFLEXOLOGY

Dr William H. Fitzgerald, a US ear, and nose and throat specialist as practiced to day introduced reflexology in 1915.  Known at the time as 'Zone Therapy', it was based on the theory that energy flows - vertical zones through the body, from the head to the feet, and pressure applied to a reflex point on the foot can affect all the organs, glands, bones and muscles in the Zone.   Foot massage has been practiced for centuries by using the thumb and fingers on reflex areas, which improves blood supply and promotes the unblocking of nerve impulses; relieves stress and tension, but Reflexologists believe that it can do more than simply aid relaxation.   According to Reflexologists, the feet and hands are mirror of the body and pressure placed on specific reflex points can be used to treat the corresponding areas of the body in order to stimulate natural healing powers and promote well-being.   The therapy has become popular around the world and is often used in conjunction with aromatherapy or naturopathy.  A natural and relaxing treatment.   Reflexology is based on the discovery that there are points on the feet which correspond to organs, systems and structures within the entire body.  A Reflexologist uses special pressure techniques to stimulate the points on the he feet to detect any imbalances and effectively treat them to restore balance4 and well-being.
