My Facial Reflexology is a 45-minute treatment based on the same principles as foot Reflexology.  Specific pressure points on the face, ears and scalp reflect different areas/organs within the whole body.  These areas are gently worked promoting balance throughout the whole body.

Other possible benefits of facial reflexology include; Improved skin and hair condition, improved concentration by stimulating blood flow to the brain, relief from nasal congestion and blocked sinuses, reduction of puffy eyes and with the release of endorphins from the brain it can enhance mood, and ease the feelings of depression and anxiety.

The History of Reflexology

 

Reflexology is an ancient practice and therefore its origin and history is not that easy to dissect.  Reflexology is thought to have been passed down through oral tradition.  The oldest documentation of reflexology is a pictograph on the Egyptian tomb of Ankhamor showing two men working on the hands and feet of two other men in 2330 B.C. 

It also has roots from China, India, and Japan.  Stone carvings have been discovered illustrating ancient practices of healing techniques on the feet. 

​

Reflexology was introduced to the western world in the early 1900s by Dr William Fitzgerald, who is frequently referred to as the father of reflexology.  He introduced ‘zone therapy’ and wrote about 10 vertical zones extending the length of the body.  He found that by applying pressure to a zone that corresponded with the location of an injury, it could relieve pain during minor surgeries.

​

Dr Fitzgerald’s work was developed further by Dr Shelby Riley who created a map of horizontal zones across the body, with a detailed map of reflex points on the hands, feet and outer ear.

​

In the 1930’s Eunice Ingham (a physiotherapist who worked for Dr Riley) really shaped how we practice reflexology today by refining her theory of where congestion and tension in specific areas of the foot reflects similar conditions in the corresponding parts of the body.  She developed the foot maps we see today and introduced reflexology practice to the non-medical community.
