Ingham Method

Also known as the Original Ingham Method of Reflexology. In the 1930s, Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist working for a physician, used zone therapy on patients to reduce pain. She mapped the entire body as represented on the feet.

Ingham later developed her work into the Ingham Reflex Method of Compression Massage, which became known as reflexology. Only the hands are used to apply the pressure to the reflex points on the feet. It is used primarily to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Many practitioners integrate the practice of reflexology with other forms of bodywork.
