Reflexology is a type of bodywork or massage based on the principle that there are points, or nerve endings on the surface of the feet which correspond to parts of the body and stimulating and applying finger pressure to that part of the foot, can increase circulation and promote specific bodily and muscular function and treat specific conditions originating in imbalances in organs and glands. When a reflex point is stimulated, it works to balance and normalize not just the corresponding organ itself but also all functional relationships of that organ. The practice of reflexology dates back to ancient Middle and Far East, however, the modern-day approach was developed in the early 1900s by Dr William Fitzgerald, who used the term 'zone therapy'. Fitzgerald's work was further modified in the 1930s by Eunice Ingham into what is now known as reflexology.
