The art of reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China. In 1913 Dr William Fitzgerald brought this therapy to the west after noting that reflex areas on the feet and hands were linked to other areas and organs of the body. Eunice Ingham develped this further into what we know as reflexology today and it is now widely recognised by health care professionals as being both effective and valuable. It is a natural and simple therapy which helps your body heal itself. To stimulate healing, massage techniques and pressure is applied to these reflex areas of the feet or hands. This brings your body into balance and promotes good health.
