Reflexology is one of the oldest forms of therapy that has been around for thousands of years the first real sign of reflexology came in the form of evidence whereby pressure massage was practiced in China and Egypt that dates back to 4,000BC. At this time, it was used because of its therapeutic effects while it was also believed that it could help to prevent many different diseases.
The Tomb of Ankhmahor, who was an Egyptian physician, was found with paintings on the wall and this dates back to 2,300BC. Thie painting depicts patients being administered hand and foot massages, proving that reflexology has an origin that runs deep into the history of past cultures. Many other cultures have also believed in reflexology and including Japanese and Indian and moving into the Middle Ages in Europe, it was known as Zone Therapy and this ultimately led to the modern-day reflexology that we know of today.
Reflexology is a holistic therapy (meaning that the treatment takes into account ALL aspects of a person – mental and social, not just physical), which has no known negative side effects and has been used successfully to treat many ailments from stress relief right the way to serious conditions such as cancer. By working on particular reflex points, a reflexology practitioner can improve circulation, clear the body of toxins and help to restore and sustain balance within the body.
