History of reflexology
Reflexology dates back 5000 years to
ancient Egypt. The discovery by V Loret in 1897 of hieroglyphics depicting a treatment is the earliest known evidence of reflexology.
Modern reflexology began with William Fitzgerald who was a surgeon and through his research found that pressure applied to fingers had an anaesthetic effect on the hands, arms, shoulders and up to the face. He used clamps on various fingers and found he could perform minor operations using this pressure therapy.
