What is Reflexology? Reflexology is an ancient art which was practiced by the Egyptians, Indians and Chinese. It was brought to the west by Dr. William Fitzgearld in 1913, who called it “Zone Therapy”, and was further was developed by Eunice Ingham around the 1930’s. Treatment involves gentle massage of the foot or hand in special zones to ease areas of congestion within the body. Reflexology can help you by helping to restore equilibrium encouraging the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. Visiting A Reflexologist When visiting an Reflexologist for the first time a full medical history will be taken and Foot assessment is undertaken. You will normally be asked to remove your shoes and socks and sit on a special treatment table which allows the therapist to raise and lower you to the correct height. An assessment of your feet is made looking for subtle changes within certain points of your foot which correspond to organs or systems in your body. A treatment session usually lasts 1 hour and a course of treatment may be recommended depending on your need. |
