History of Reflexology
Reflexology in the modern day is based on an ancient form of therapy and there have been references to working on the feet, hands and ears in many civilizations throughout history. Using this type of massage as a healing tool has been referred to as an ancient art which has been present, in varying forms, for centuries. Research suggests this form of ancient art dates back to a variety of cultures with the most commonly mentioned being Egypt, China and India
Zone Therapy which Reflexology has been originally based on, dates as far back to AD1500. It was first written about in the 16th century and in the 1890’s Sir Henry Head discovered that zones of the skin can reflect the health of an organ.  Although Head discovered the skin zones of the body, the credit for initiating Reflexology goes to Dr William Fitzgerald, an American surgeon who claimed that applying pressure had an anaesthetic effect on other areas of the body, forming what we call zone therapy. In 1917, Fitzgerald uncovered the application of pressure to a relevant zone can correspond to the location of injury. This research suggests the body can be divided into ten zones which can be used to alleviate pain.
