What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is an art and a science that views the feet, hands, and ears as mini-maps representing the entire body. Reflexology is an effective, touch-based modality in which specific thumb and finger techniques are used to stimulate “reflexive” points. In this manner, a Reflexology session can provide deep relaxation, improve circulation, and create overall stress reduction in a gentle and non-invasive way.
Reflexology is practiced worldwide, and a variety of approaches exist. Techniques and methods used around the world differ in depth of touch, use of tools, and therapeutic vs. relaxation models. While Modern Reflexology is practiced at Sole Source Reflexology, ancient forms of Reflexology may have existed before our time. In the physician’s tomb in Egypt, circa 2300 BC, a pictograph depicts touch-based therapy on hands and feet.
Modern Reflexology is based on the work of two American physicians in the early 1900s. In 1917, Dr. William Fitzgerald developed the vertical zone theory which divided the foot into vertical zones corresponding the the rest of the body. In 1924, Dr. Joe Shelby Riley expanded on that theory with the horizontal zone theory, further dividing the foot to link the rest of the body. Eunice D. Ingham, a physiotherapist, worked closely with Drs. Fitzgerald and Riley and eventually developed their knowledge into the reflexology map we use today.
Reflexologists use a holistic approach to healthcare. Reflexologists do not diagnose or prescribe.

Benefits of Reflexology
Reflexology facilitates the return of a natural state of balance within the body through relaxation, nerve stimulation and improved circulation. Regular sessions help to create optimum conditions to allow the body the best chance of healing itself naturally. Acute conditions may improve with one or two sessions but more chronic conditions will take your body longer to heal.
The benefits of reflexology may include stress relief, deep relaxation, pain reduction or elimination, increased circulation, natural detoxification, accelerated self-healing, balancing of the body's systems, and an increased sense of well-being.
