This is a 5 page paper discussing reflexology, its origins and current practice. The practice of reflexology is said to have originated with the ancient Chinese, Egyptians and Native Americans with evidence being found on cave paintings found in a tomb in Egypt dated 2330 BC. However, the modern version of reflexology in which regions of the foot are associated with ten vertical zones throughout the body was first researched by Dr. William H. Fitzgerald in Hartford, Connecticut in the early 1900s. The practice of reflexology today is based on the original works of Fitzgerald and other therapists who refined his methods such as Dr. J.S. Riley and his student Eunice Ingham. A holistic therapy, reflexology’s aims are to relieve stress, pain and muscle tension, increase circulation and restore the body’s natural balance and harmony which has been plagued by disease. Although not generally considered a first line of defence by Western physicians, reflexology has become one of the more popular alternative medicine preferred by patients and clinical trials continue to test its effectiveness.
