Foot reflexology  has been a welcomed complimentary therapy for many people since the 1930's as the feet are easilyu accessible and there is no need to undress. The modern history of reflexology as an art of stress reduction is based on the theory that the body is relfected on the feet. The theory was developed by two American physicians, Dr. William Fitzgerald and Dr. Joe Shelby Riley, in the 1920's. In the 1930's Eunice Ingham brought her work to the people traveling the country speaking of reflexology and wrote , "The Stories the Feet Could Tell".
