What is Reflexology?
The Zollinger "BodySystems Method of Reflexology"In early 1900's, Dr.William Fitgerald developed the modern "Zone Therapy" theory. He realized that by applying pressure to an area on the feet, he could anesthetize and reduce pain in a corresponding area of the body.
Then, in the 1930's, Eunice Ingham,
a physiotherapist for Dr.Reley, who was also a student and advocate of the "Zone Therapy" theory, used this in her work with patients.
She was obtaining such good results with her patients that she eventually mapped the entire body out on the feet.
She discovered that by using a type of compression massage on the various points on the feet, therapeutic effects far beyond the limited use to which zone therapy had affected was being achieved.
And thus, Reflexology was born !
Reflexology is a holistic science using the feet as a mini-map or microcosm of the body.
It is a natural, non-invasive science of stimulating reflex area in the feet that correspond to our organs, glands, and body parts.
The 45-minite session is a wonderful way to reduce stress, improve circulation and restore balance.
The goal of reflexology is to assist the body to return to a state of homeostasis, or balance.This material may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the written permission of Roz Zollinger,
