History
The origins of reflexology date back to ancient Egypt as evidenced by inscriptions found in the physician's tomb at Saqqara. The hieroglyphics when translated state: Don't hurt me. ...and the practitioner's reply, I shall act as you praise me. In 1913, Dr. William Fitzgerald, M.D., rediscovered zone therapy. He found that the pressure on certain reflex points helped corresponding body organs function more normally and also decreased pain. This healing practice now known as reflexology, provides an approach to holistic health that has been adopted by many over the years.
