Happy World Reflexology Week 2025
What is reflexology and what's the history?
👣 Reflexology is a complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and well-being.
👣 It is a touch therapy that is based on the theory that different points on the feet, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas of the body and reflexologists work these points and areas.
👣 Reflexology, an ancient practice originating from Egypt, India, and China, making its way to the Western world thanks to Dr. William Fitzgerald’s pioneering work in the early 1900s.
👣 Eunice Ingham played a pivotal role in refining and popularising reflexology during the 1930s. Her contributions shaped the modern understanding and practice of reflexology today.
👣 Reflexology is a very individualised treatment tailored to you as a whole person, taking into account both physical and non-physical factors that might be affecting your wellbeing. Some people find it works for them – some don’t. The best way to find out is to try it!
