Foot Reflexology Massage
Origin of Reflexology
The American physician William Fitzgerald (1872–1942) is considered a pioneer in modern reflexology and developed a system in which he divided the body into 10 vertical zones. He had extensive knowledge of both conventional medicine and Native American folk medicine, which included reflexive connections and pressure treatments that had been used for many centuries. Fitzgerald then developed a system: He divided the body into ten vertical zones. The «zone therapy» developed by Dr. Fitzgerald is considered the cornerstone of today’s reflexology. Later, these longitudinal zones were further divided into 3 transverse zones each. This is still the basis of foot reflexology today.

Reflex zone therapy and foot reflexology are based on a holistic view of the body, in which all parts of the body are interconnected, and the human body is reflected in the foot. The foot is like a small map in which the entire body and its complaints can be found. With a foot reflexology massage, physical and emotional complaints in the rest of the body can be relieved through targeted pressure at specific points on the foot.
