 The oldest documentation of reflexology is on the wall of a tomb in Saqqara, Egypt. The tomb belongs to an Egyptian physician named Ankmahor and dates back to between 2330 and 2500 B.C. There is a picture of two men working on the feet of two other men with an inscription of the patient saying “Do not hurt me.” and the therapist is saying “I shall act so you praise me.” (Vennells). This shows that even thousands of years ago people were able to recognize the benefits and validity of reflexology or a practice equivalent to it. It is also believed that before the use of shoes when people would walk on sand, in the forest, and on the earth our feet were constantly being massaged and the energy flow was constant. This was like a natural reflexology session (Gillanders 10). |
