This is an art which dates back in some form to the Ancient Egyptians.
Modern reflexology is based upon the principle that the whole body is represented by reflexes in the feet and hands.
By using finger and thumb techniques the therapist is aiming to activate the body’s own self-healing system in order to achieve a state of balance.
The underlying concept is that there is an underlying life force , similar to that of other healing systems such as acupuncture.
There are many different theories as to why it works.
It is believed that the body naturally seeks to maintain health, or a state of balance.
Reflexology can achieve a state of deep relaxation, and in this state the body is able to function more efficiently.
This may include improving the blood supply to vital organs resulting in an improved supply of oxygen and nutrients being taken to the cells and improved removal of waste products.
Another school of thought is that the body is mapped out in reflexes in the hands, feet, and ears among others.
A doctor called Dr Fitzgerald demonstrated that by applying a strong pressure on one part of the body he could produce an anaesthetic effect at another part. From this he drew up a zone map of the body.
He also believed that there is a n energetic connection between organs, tissues, etc which are within the same zone.
Most people find they achieve a deep relaxation which is believed to assist the body to activate its own healing mechanisms.
