Happy New Year! Feet First!

Happy new year Everyone!
We hope everyone started their year feet first!!

Your feet should be a part of the "whole". By this I mean the "wholistic"( yes a play on words) approach to good health.  Eat right, exercise, keep a positive mental attitude and participate in alternative therapies, such as reflexology are all part of the "whole" health regime.

A brief refresher, Reflexology is described as an alternative healing therapy, based on the principles that every part, organ and gland are mapped out on the bottom of the feet.  By applying pressure, pressure suitable to the receiver, and stimulating the various areas and pressure points, energy pathways are opened plus crystals built up in nerve endings are released. With this relaxing and warming circulation, positive change occurs throughout the body.

Over the holidays I have indulged in reading various websites  about nutrition, detoxing, raw foods, juicing, supplements, various different therapies, exercise programs, and of course reflexology to increase my knowledge.  There is some much information out there it makes the head spin.

I am going to share a few I found :

For anyone interest in obtaining a  free copy of our foot map download Go Here and scroll to the bottom of the page. This will make it easier for you to understand that certain  areas on the foot when worked with help with system disorders.  We highly recommend the the entire foot is worked with paying extra attention to the reflex area of concern to assist with the disorder. 

Eunice D. Ingham, a Physical Therapist, worked closely with Dr. Riley and was fascinated by the concept of Zone Therapy and started developing her foot reflex theory in the early 1930's. She had the opportunity to treat hundreds of patients where each reflex point of contact had been carefully and thoughtfully checked and rechecked until with all confidence she was able to determine that the reflexes on the feet were an exact mirror image of the organs of the body. Dr. Riley encouraged her to write her first book entitled "Stories The Feet Can Tell" where she documented her cases and carefully mapped out the reflexes on the feet as we know them today.  If you wish to ready more about the history of Reflexology click here.  From this book we learned much and we would like to share this with you.

"The disorders and their associative reflexes are listed only as a guide. In no way is this this list to be constructed as, nor used for, diagnostic purposes.  Reflexologists do not diagnose nor prescribe at any time in any manner."  D.C.B.
