Thai Reflexology is part of a discipline in Thailand referred to as sacred bodywork. Its origins date back to India, where the ancient art of Ayurvedic medicine held that the feet (and hands) have energy openings to the external world, through which energy enters and leaves the human body. Philosophies from traditional Chinese medicine and the healing arts of Taiwan and Japan affirmed this belief and recognized the profound grounding effect that working on the feet have on both the physical and energy bodies.

How many times have you heard that? From either your own mouth or that of someone you know. Maybe the more accurate statement would be “I’m killing my feet!” I don’t why I continue to be surprised by the number of people who complain of pain in their feet – but I do.
