About Reflexology

The History

The history of Reflexology can be traced back to the Egyptian times. The modern form of Reflexology was developed in the early twentieth century by an American ENT consultant, Dr William Fiztgerald, who discovered that pressure applied to one part of the body could ease pain in another area of the body.


By applying a gentle pressure to the reflexes of the feet or hands a deep sense of relaxation is achieved. This then encourages the body to heal itself and bring about a sense of well-being and state of inner balance in the body.
