Is Reflexology new or ancient. Alternative or complimentary care.

Reflexology is an ancient healing art with origins from ancient civilizations; Egypt, China, and India. Several Native American tribes also used reflexology as a healing process. A form of reflexology called reflex zone therapy was practiced throughout Europe in the 14th century. Modern-day reflexology techniques are based on these ancient practices.

Reflexology is best used as complimentary care working alongside other treatments to heal our system as a whole. Alternative care is defined as an “instead of” treatment. I began using reflexology early in my career as a massage therapist as I experienced the correlations to other body areas in my own body and I experienced better results with my clients when I’d work a problem area locally as well as distally with reflexology. I use it as an integral part of my regular wellness care and it’s also great complimentary care for people who may be fragile in other ways that makes getting a full body massage less comfortable such as going through conventional and alternative cancer care** (see below,) being pregnant/ postpartum (I love both massage and reflexology here,) elderly, recovering from surgery, injury. Anything that makes traditional massage less accessible. Keeping healthy, flowing, flexible hands and feet are a vital part of a healthy aging process as well.
