Historically, Reflexology was successfully used in New England as an alternative to medicine. This ancient Oriental art was rediscovered by Dr William Fitzgerald in 1913 who ran a hospital using Reflexology instead of pain pills, muscle relaxants or sleeping pills. However, as time went on, people took less responsibility for their own health and were lokking for a “Magic Pill” to help them. Eventually Reflexology fell by the way side. Now, as the public takes responsibility for their health, Reflexology has again become more popular and widely used.
This healing art works on the principle of “chi” or “universal life energy”. When there is a blockage in the flow of this energy the problem of “dis-ease” will manifest itself in the body. When the blockage is released then the energy can flow freely and the body’s natural tendency to heal itself and recover can take over.
Reflexology can help with the healing of an injury by massaging the reflex point of the affected area. To maximize the body’s maximum healing potential massage should also be applied to the spine, adrenals, solar plexus and parathyroid.

Reflexology
is a science that maps out the reflexes on the feet and hands to
all the organs and the rest of the body. It has been observed that
congestion or tension in any part of the foot mirrors congestion
or tension in a corresponding part of the body. Thus when you treat
the big toes there is a related effect in the head, and treating
the whole foot can have a relaxing and healing effect on the whole
body.
Reflexology
also works by reflex action which occurs in a muscle, gland or organ
when an energy current reaches it from the point of stimulus. It
is nerve cells or neurons which actually conduct the energy from
stimulus to end point, and the reflex response can only occur when
that neural pathway is unobstructed energetically.
