Because reflexology is an ancient practice, its origin and history are difficult to track. However, reflexology is thought to have been passed down through an oral tradition, and possibly first recorded as a pictograph on the Egyptian tomb of Ankhamor in 2330 BC along with other medical procedures. Reflexology symbols are thought to be recorded on the feet of statues of Buddha in India and later China.
My educational background in Traditional Thai Massage is following the path started by Father Doctor Shivagakomarpaj about 2500 years ago where he was the Doctor of the Siddhartha Family. Father Doctor Shivagakomarpaj is the principal Guru of the Reflexology discipline. According to his testimonial passed on by several civilizations, there are in a human physical body about 7,000 connected reflexed points.
The legend says that Father Doctor Shivagakomarpaj has lived about 250 years in his physical body and apparently he achieved this long life by applying regularly reflexology to his body.

I can never thank him enough for the great knowledge and guardians that I had and still give me every time I do reflexology and massage treatments.
