About Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

The Reflexology Association of America defines reflexology as an integrative health practice, maps a reflection of the body predominately on the feet, hands and outer ears. It uses unique manual techniques to deliver pressure to neural pathways assisting the body to function optimally. 

Reflexology is a complimentary therapy that offers relief to the entire body. Our feet reflect our whole body and when we press points in our feet, it stimulates specific reflexes, allowing for toning or sedation to help the body balance.

History

The modern practice of reflexology as we know it today has its origins in the 19th century and became fully developed in the 1930s, when Eunice Ingham and others devised charts of reflex zones for the hands and feet.*   However, the ancient practice of footwork for its health benefits has been used by many cultures on every continent throughout the world.
