The Universal College of Reflexology defines Reflexology as…
“Reflexology is a science based on the artful application of gentle pressure on reflex areas in the body, most usually hands, feet and ears, which produce harmony, health and homeostasis.”
Reflexology is the firm but gentle massage and manipulation of the reflexes of the hands, ears and feet.
- It relaxes the body,
- eases the mind, and
- soothes the soul.
Foot reflexology or the firm but gentle manipulation or massage of reflexes in both feet has been passed on from generation to generation for centuries. When humans first placed their feet on the earth’s surface, they were naturally stimulated by walking and running over the uneven ground, but the introduction of sandals and shoes has reduced the feet’s inborn sensitivity.
The origin of reflexology cannot be traced to any one civilization. Evidence suggests that primitive forms of reflexology existed in ancient Egypt, India and China some 5,000 years ago
The fundamental principle of reflexology is that the feet mirror the body.

hello, love from finland. your post looks great. I will recommend this post to others here.
That’s really thinking out of the box. Thanks!
you got a very excellent website, Gladiolus I discovered it through yahoo.
I’m convinced. Today I just registered for your Professional Foot Reflexology certification course. I love that I can learn in your virtual classroom at home on my own schedule and most of all I love the interaction with my mentor, Reflexology coach and other students throughout the entire program!!! I already took a Reflexology course where we learned in a lady’s basement over 4 days and then I never saw her again… no mentoring, no coaching.
Thanks for putting on this proper Reflexology training.

Hi Christine,
Yes, our foot and ear Reflexology models are very popular. In fact, I think we are currently sold out. We are expecting a new shipment soon. I will get back to you ASAP

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know Reflexology and how to bring it to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand the true importance of Reflexology.

Reflexology has a lot to offer for both young and old. Reflexology has reflex points on hand and feet. Giving right pressure on foot will help to cure problems related to your body.
Reflexology originated from India and has a long history of it.
One of the most informative, captivating and educational documentaries that I have ever seen. It should be required viewing for all Americans.
Awsome blog! I am loving it!! Will come back again. I am taking your feeds also.
Awesome Reflexology posts!
