Reflexology for good health:
Do you belong to the large group of people who often do not feel well, but have no idea why? The answer might be at your feet! For, many experts in the field of reflexology claim that serious health problems can be identified via the feet.
The fundamentals of the reflexology theory described that there are 104 points on the bottom of your feet – each of these reflexology points represent a specific parts of your body. |
| Tom Schriner – owner of a Perfect Day Spa health resort – say that most people are so comfortable in his Spa, they can make a nap. Schriner continues:“It comes from China. It’s something they’ve been doing for years over there and something that’s been needed here. Cause they do put a lot of pressure on the toes and the feet and all your nerve endings go down to your feet,” said Schriner.
Schriner continues: “He was working my feet and I moved a little bit and he says, ‘Oh this is high blood pressure.’ That week the doctor put me on high blood pressure pills.”. However, reflexologists will be the first ones to say they are not doctors. Reflexologists usually see their work as serving warning signs in order to check out potential medical problems.

What is reflexology?
Reflexology is the healing art of stimulating specific points on the feet, hands, and ears in order to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and treat a wide range of health problems. The practice is based on the concept that different parts of your body have corresponding “reflex points” on the areas mentioned above. Reflexology’s roots are ancient, possibly dating back some 4,500 years in Chinese and Egyptian medicine. But modern, standardized reflexology was developed in the early 1900s by American physician William Fitzgerald, MD. Over several years, Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Joe Shelby Riley studied both the theory of zone therapy and modern anatomy, meticulously mapping out the body’s reflex points. Today, reflexologists can go straight to a particular area of the foot, hand, or ear, and begin to relieve pain and promote healing just about anywhere in the body. SOURCE:

Getting into Reflexology Part 1

Learning reflexology: Kevin Kunz explains how to get into reflexology. SOURCE:

In a lot of interviews I am asked how I got into reflexology. The answer is quite simple really. I picked up a reflexology book off the bookstore shelf and tried it out. One thing led to another as I found people really wanted reflexology for not only their health problems but also the stress they faced. The rest is history. After over 30 years of practice, 11 books in 19 languages and countless extraordinary experiences with reflexology I often wonder where I would be if I hadn’t picked up that book.
Learning reflexology is getting easier. Back in the seventies when I started there were few books on reflexology. And the books available then weren’t really so richly illustrated as books are today. A lot of reflexology was taught without textbooks.
But even back then it was fairly easy to get started. You bought a book or learned from some mentor. Then you sought out “guinea pigs”(usually family and friends) and proceeded with what I jokingly call “human experimentation”. After awhile you might even take a reflexology course if you wanted to go further. Sooner or later when word circulated about your skills (and hopefully your results). People outside the circle of family and friends asked if you would work on them. The money question suddenly came up. What to charge and who do I charge? One of many dilemmas you faced. And even more challenging is professionalism. It has only been the last few years where a professional class of practitioners has developed. The lack of licensing bodies and professional associations has meant much of professionalism has been left to the individual. In this short series I plan to help you get into reflexology whether it is for yourself, your family, or as a profession. Reflexology is still fairly simple to get into even with increasing requirements for professionals. Please send me your questions. I will do my best to answer them. I wish you the best with reflexology. I hope reflexology will bring the joy to you that it has brought us. Kevin Kunz |
