foot reflexology massage
Origin of Foot Reflexology
The American doctor William Fitzgerald (1872-1942) is considered a pioneer of modern reflexology and developed a system in which he divided the body into 10 vertical zones. He had a sound knowledge of both conventional medicine and Native American folk medicine, which included reflexive relationships and pressure treatment that have been used for many centuries. Fitzgerald then developed a system: he divided the body into ten vertical zones. The "zone therapy" developed by Dr. Fitzgerald is considered the foundation for today's reflexology therapy. Later, these longitudinal zones were divided into 3 transverse zones each. This is still the basis of foot reflexology today.
