E Butterfly Spa

History

A widely held theory is that reflexology originated in prehistoric periods of China. There was also ancient documentations unearthed in Egypt with similar practices dated around 2000 B.C.. Reflexology was first introduced to the U.S. by William H. Fitzgerald, a ear, nose, and throat specialist, and Dr. Edwin Bowers in 1917. They believed that applying pressure on different areas of the body will have anesthetic effects. Later in the 1930s and 1940s, Eunice D. Ingham, a nurse and physiotherapist modified and refined the theory. She mapped zones on feet ,which she believed reflects on various parts of the body. Her procedures and methods, later developed by Laura Norman, are widely used by modern reflexologists.
