The History of reflexology
Let’s delve into the fascinating journey of foot reflexology, guided by the expertise of Lisa J Pankhurst at Lisa J Healing in Milton Keynes. The practice of trigger point stimulation of the feet, hands and ears has a rich history that dates back thousands of years to ancient cultures like the Egyptians and Chinese. They believed that specific points on the feet held a deep connection to various organs and systems within the body. Over time, this wisdom was passed down through generations, leading to the emergence of modern reflexology.
Bringing Ancient Teachings into the Modern Era
Visionaries like Eunice Ingham further refined and mapped out these foot zones in the early 20th century. Her dedication and insight helped shape reflexology into the respected holistic practice it is today. Now, enter the present day with Lisa J Pankhurst, a true expert in reflexology, at Lisa J Healing in Milton Keynes. With compassionate understanding and a wealth of education, Lisa skillfully carries on the legacy of this ancient art. Her approach not only embraces traditional techniques but also integrates current research and scientific insights. Modern research has validated what ancient wisdom already hinted at – the powerful connection between our feet and overall well-being. Studies suggest that reflexology can stimulate relaxation, enhance circulation, and even support pain management.
Reasons for choosing reflexology:
You might choose reflexology over other complementary therapies and healing modalities like massage therapy, crystal healing, or Ensofic reiki for several reasons:
- Targeted Approach: Reflexology’s focus on specific reflex points on the feet appeals to those seeking targeted relief and balance within the body’s systems. It’s ideal for those looking for a more precise therapeutic approach.
- Holistic Wellness: Reflexology is grounded in the belief that the feet mirror the entire body. Individuals interested in addressing physical and energetic imbalances holistically may choose reflexology.
- Foot-Centric Approach: For those who prefer not to disrobe or be touched directly on their body, reflexology provides an alternative by primarily focusing on the feet.
- Stress and Tension Relief: Reflexology’s ability to induce deep relaxation can be particularly attractive to those looking to reduce stress, anxiety, and tension without the use of oils or lotions all over the body.
- Foot-Specific Issues: People with foot-related concerns, such as plantar fasciitis or poor circulation, may find reflexology’s emphasis on the feet to be more beneficial.
- Complementary to Medical Care: Reflexology can be chosen as a complementary therapy alongside medical treatments, especially if someone is seeking a non-invasive way to support their health.
- Ancient Wisdom Appeal: Individuals drawn to traditional practices and the historical roots of reflexology might opt for this ancient technique as a means of wellness.
- Energetic Balance: While reiki and crystal healing focus on energy work, reflexology provides a more physical component by working on the feet, offering a distinct energetic experience.
- Variety in Sessions: Some may choose reflexology for the sake of variety, especially if they’ve already experienced massage therapy, crystal healing, or reiki in the past.
- Personal Preference: Ultimately, personal preference plays a significant role in the decision. Someone might resonate more with the concept of foot reflexology or feel it aligns better with their individual needs and preferences.
Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Your own unique goals, preferences, and health considerations will guide you toward the modality that best suits your individual journey toward wellness.

My personal experience with Reflexology
When I first discovered reflexology, I was curious but not convinced. After a series of reflexology treatments at college, I soon realised the powerful impact this healing modality can have.
Since then, my interest in reflexology grow especially in areas such as helping boost fertility and soothing and balancing mental health issues. It’s non-invasive nature means it can be used alongside other treatments, including chemotherapy and cancer care, fertility and hormone treatments, and palliative care.
