Reflexology is a practice that has existed since the dawn of time.
We find evidence of its existence among the Egyptians, on the bas-reliefs of the necropolis of Saqqarah (around 2300 BC), where we see massages of hands and feet. Among the Incas, foot massage was considered a sacred art, and in China, the "Nei Ching", a famous book of Chinese medicine which is located between 4000 and 1000 BC. AD, also mentions reflexology.
