The first reflexology foot map

In 1913, Dr. William Fitzgerald, an American doctor, wrote an article about foot reflexology massage. He developed a systematized chart of 10 longitudinal zones in the body. In North America during the 1930’s, a detailed reflexology foot map was developed by Eunice Ingham. Ingham believed that working on the foot was the best way to affect the health of the complete body. Ingham’s reflexology foot maps showed exactly how particular parts of the feet relate to other body parts.

The basics of foot Reflexology

Foot reflexology is a simple method to help balance the body. Foot reflexology has been described as a (alternative) natural therapy which requires the application of a specific type of pressure on specific areas of the foot. Foot reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the foot which correspond to every part of the body. Foot reflexology provides relaxation, and improves circulation and promotes a general feeling of well-being.

About The Foot Reflexology Center:

“Try visiting the Foot Reflexology Center in Chinatown. Though the center does offer massages and steam saunas, its focus is on conditioning the feet.

Foot reflexology believes your foot is the foundation and interlinked with all major organs and glands in your body. So working the foot in essence is working and healing all other related areas as well. As the foot charts decorating the Center show, the temples, for example, are connected to the bottom of the big toe. Specific areas on the pad of your foot are related to the lung, eyes and ears, and heart.

The foot is essentially the representation of the state of the whole body.”

What is reflexology?

September 6, 2008

Let’s take a look at how REFLEXOLOGY is defined:

In the TOP 10 search results of the 4 major search engines in the world www.google.com, search.yahoo.com, search.live.com, and www.ask.com – there are only common 3 websites:

www.reflexology-research.com defines REFLEXOLOGY as:
“What is reflexology? Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hand with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. it is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.”

en.wikipedia/wiki/Reflexology defines REFLEXOLOGY as:
“Reflexology, or zone therapy, is the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes the hands and ears, with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to improve general health.

There is no consensus on how reflexology is supposed to work; a unifying theme is the idea that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these one can improve health through one’s qi.

Concerns have been raised by medical professionals that treating potentially serious illnesses with reflexology, which has no proven efficacy, could delay the seeking of help from proven conventional medicine. There is no clinical or scientific evidence that reflexology has any beneficial effect.”
