Reflexology
Reflexology or Zone Therapy is based on a system that the body is divided into vertical and cross zones or channels which connect all parts of the body from the feet to the head and down the arms to the hands. The existence of these zones was first described in 1913 by an American Physician and surgeon Dr William Fitzgerald. A Reflexologist accesses the body's energy through these zones by applying pressure to reflex points on the feet or hands. Each reflex point relates specifically to parts of the body. Reflexology aims to balance the energy flow within the vertical zones of the body and so help correct body functioning.
