The reflexology It is a natural, holistic therapy that promotes the general well-being of the body and is deeply ancestral, since it has been practiced for about 5 thousand years.

Dr. William Fitzgerald, otolaryngologist surgeon, born in Connecticut, United States, in 1872, declared that there are 10 energy zones or channels on the surface of the body, through which flows the vital energy that allows every individual to carry out their activities, since these roads end in the hands and feet.

Dr. Fitzgerald practiced in Vienna and London, where his study of acupressure therapy led him to develop his theory of zone therapy, rescuing and simplifying the meridian system used by traditional Chinese medicine.
