The idea behind reflexology is not new- in fact, it was practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptian culture. Reflexology as we know it today was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham, the pioneer in this field. Her book on the subject was published in 1938. And since 1942, Reflexology workshops have been conducted year round.

What is the Ingham method of Reflexology?

It is the combined work of the late Eunice Ingham and her nephew Dwight C. Byers, the worlds leading authority on Foot and Hand Reflexology. Mr. Byers, President of the international institute of Reflexology, and/or his hand picked instructors conduct on-going workshops on a worldwide scale to both laymen and professionals alike.

What special equipment is needed?

Only the hands are used, making it a safe, simple, yet effective method without the use of gadgets. Let your fingers do the walking.

Can reflexology make a condition worse?

Reflexology is a unique modality in the health field. Its purpose is not to treat or diagnose for any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well being in the same way as an exercise or diet program. Its practice should not be compared to massage or any other kind of manipulative procedure.
