REFLEXOLOGY OVER THE AGES
REFLEXOLOGY has been practiced by many cultures around the world for many years. It is one of the most ancient forms of alternative medicines, still in great demand and widely practiced around the globe in todays' modern society.
One theory is that the roots of REFLEXOLOGY stem from China 5,000 years ago and is today the bones of modern day Chinese Medicine.
Another theory claims that a form of REFLEXOLOGY was passed down from the Incas to the Cherokee Native American Indians. These people have used a form of REFLEXOLOGY throughout the ages. Our ancestors paved the way by using various stone age tools as well as their hands.
The oldest documentation of REFLEXOLOGY appears in inscriptions and paintings on the walls of ancient Egyption Tombs. These show a form of foot massage.
REFLEXOLOGY has developed over the years throughout the history of many cultures - research and studies. Our founders of modern REFLEXOLOGY have dedicated their time and energy and today the entire body systems are mapped out on the feet. There are many different styles of REFLEXOLOGY practiced around the world, they are all based on the same principle that our body systems are linked through meridian pathways - extending from the tips of our toes to the top of our head. This is likened to a telephone network system where one body part communicates with another via this amazing human data exchange body resource. REFLEXOLOGY is a hands in manual therapy - no invasive medinines. By stimulating reflex points in our feet - takes tension out of the muscles, unblocks nerve pathways, improving circulation, allowing the body to revitalize - energize and relax, bringing a wellbeing balance to our body systems.
It is important our muscles and joints are well maintained, mobile and lubricated to enable us to move freely. Mobility and flexability of our body is a major function of our every day living.
In many countries people walk daily in barefeet on natural stones - many parks have cobblestone walks. This is a form of self-help REFLEXOLOGY - studies show this enhances health and wellbeing.
Today REFLEXOLOGY is a well respected alternative health profession. A qualified and registered practitioner has many years of study, knowledge and practical experience under his/her belt. All N.Z. registered therapists have met a standard as set out by Reflexology N.Z. They must continue upskilling every year with post graduate courses, seminars, workshops, research and conferences.
REFLEXOLOGY is for men and women of all age groups, cultures, abilities and walks of life.
