All About Reflexology

WHAT IS FOOT/HAND REFLEXOLOGY?
Foot/Hand Reflexology is the holistic approach to wholeness through the feet/hand. With the use of energy and manipulation of the foot reflexes, the client assisted by the therapist, goes into a state of relaxation, allowing the Spirit, Mind and Body to heal.

HISTORY
The practice of reflexology is based on a collection of theories and practices dating back thousands of years.The Incas of South America have been in tune with the earth and the universal energies for thousands of years and believe that your feet tell the stories of your life exposing all truths.

Another widely accepted theory is that the knowledge was passed to Native Americans by the Incas. The use of reflex pressure to heal has been practiced by Native Americans for generations. North Carolina's Cherokee have known the importance of feet in maintaining physical, mental and spiritual balance passing on this tradition for centuries.

Another widely held belief is that reflex therapy originated in China about 5,000 years ago, although there is no concrete evidence of it. However, the Egyptian and Babylonian cultures were developed before Chinese culture and a valuable piece of evidence was discovered in Egypt. A pictograph, dated around 2500-2330 BC, depicting the practice of both foot and hand reflexology, discovered in the tomb of an influential Egyptian physician, Ankmahor.

The knowledge of reflexology might have become non-existent if not for the inquiring medical minds of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Great people like Eunice Ingham who in the 1930's to the 1960s researched and promoted reflexology as we know it today. Today there are over 200 schools of Reflexology in North America with its many approaches and disciplines.

Mind Body Spirit Canada School has researched to find the most comprehensive approach, combining information from 3 schools therefore offering the student and practitioner an in-depth and complete training in Reflexology.
