What is reflexology?

Reflexology’s origins reach back to ancient civilisations, with the earliest known
evidence discovered in the 2500 BC tomb of an Egyptian physician. Centuries later,
in the early 1900s, Dr William Fitzgerald — inspired by Nobel Prize–winning scientist
Sir Charles Sherrington — found that pressure on specific areas of the body could
create a numbing effect in others. This groundbreaking discovery evolved into the
reflexology we practise today.

Reflexology helps melt away everyday stresses, encourages deep relaxation, and
improves circulation to boost your energy. It works to restore and maintain the body’s
natural balance, leaving you with an enhanced sense of wellbeing. Many people now
choose reflexology as part of a preventative healthcare lifestyle, helping them stay
healthy and resilient in today’s busy world.
