Wellness & Holistic Therapy: Reflexology

Reflexology massage uses an ancient technique that applies pressure to points on your hands and feet in order to heal illness, or bring an overall sense of wellbeing.

Reflexology History

Reflexology massage finds its origins in ancient Egypt with inscriptions found in the Physicians Tomb in Egypt. The inscriptions and drawings date back to 2300 B.C. and show Egyptian physicians grabbing patient's feet and telling them "I shall act so you praise me." Other early evidence of reflexology in ancient times comes from the ancient Medical Teacher temple in Nara, Japan. In this temple a drawing of Buddha's foot displays markings that isolate different areas of the feet in a way that is quite similar to the areas of the feet that are isolated during reflexology.

Reflexology's modern history is based in research about the reflexive system. As part of this research British physicians applied heat and cold as well as herbal poultices to certain parts of the body in order to determine if they could cause an influence in another part of the body. Most of these studies were conducted in Germany and Russia throughout the 19th century.

During the early 1900's Russian physicians studied the reflex research of Ivan Pavlov to create reflex therapy. The basic idea is that certain reflexes could influence brain-organ dynamics. These researchers believed that sometimes organs experience illness because they receive the wrong signals from the brain. In 1917, Vladimir Bekterev coined the term reflexology. The goal of reflexology is to stimulate the reflexes in a way that will interrupt the body's misguided instructions, causing the body to function more optimally.
