Reflexology
is a gentle and relaxing complementary therapy, suitable for all ages, which
uses reflex points found on the feet, hands or ears, to stimulate the body's
natural ability to heal itself. This restores energy and a state of homeostasis.
Drawings found on the walls of tombs in Egypt dating from 2300BC, indicate that
a form of Reflexology was practiced by its people.Development into the therapy
as we know it today took place mainly in the early 1900's in the USA, those
responsible being Dr William Fitzgerald, an ear nose and throat Specialist and
Eunice Ingham, a Physiotherapist.
