Zone Therapy, in some form, has been practiced as a healing method
for thousands of years. It has come and gone with the rise and fall of
civilizations. Hieroglyphics and ancient paintings depicting this
therapy have been found in Egypt and India. The modern history of Zone
Therapy begins with Dr. William Fitzgerald, (1872-1946) an American nose
and throat specialist. He developed a theory describing the electrical
circuits or meridians in the body. Dr. Edwin Bowers documented his work.
In the 1950`s a Norwegian named Dr. Charles Ersdal, M.D., M.A., was
cured from paralysis using Zone Therapy. This experience thrust him into
26 years of intense research. He determined that the body contains its
own innate healing intelligence which is stimulated or triggered through
specific and intricate Foot Zone Therapy. This method utilizes
the feet’s natural "signal" system to establish balance, elevate your
life energy and renew cells in the body.
Importantly, he discovered that the body would consistently respond as a dynamically interrelated whole rather than as separate symptomatic parts. During this time of research, Dr. Ersdal was able to chart the human anatomy as it relates to these "points" on the foot. He charted the entire physiology including the brain, blood and lymph circulation, and musculature. This was a great breakthrough because it is the brain to which information from the foot is sent via Foot Zone Therapy. In turn the brain makes the corrections to your whole health system. Remember, the entire body is run by instruction from the brain. Zone Therapy has been found to be a "signal", or electro-magnetic system, rather than a reflex system and treats the body holistically rather than symptomatically. Plus, the body is always treated in its entirety. Thus no partial zone treatments are advised.
It is extremely important that your Foot Zone Therapy treatment should be administered by a Certified Zone Therapist. Much more occurs during a session than meets your eye or awareness, and practitioner experience is essential to achieving the full physical, mental and emotional benefit. A session typically lasts for 35-45 minutes. Multiple and consistent sessions over a two month period are recommended to detoxify and establish the bodies restorative process. After this period, yourself and the therapist will determine a schedule based on your individual needs and condition. You will find that your body will tell you when it’s time for a Zone.
Foot Zone Therapy is a precise physical therapy applied via directed pressure to the various "zones" of the feet. The Foot Zone Therapy practitioner observes the foot and interprets the "messages” it conveys through discoloration, spots, tenderness and pain. When a signal point is triggered within a certain zone, a message goes to the tissue or organ effected, through a reflex arc to the spinal cord and then to the brain. Discomfort is experienced in the areas of imbalanced areas where healing is needed. If there is no pain, corrections are not needed.
A complex signal system located in the feet connects to every organ and cell in the body. Foot Zone Therapy always stimulates every organ and renews the cell system in each treatment. Zone Therapy is a holistic approach which recognizes that all of the bodies cells and organs make up one giant, complex, interactive organism. Thus, Zone Therapy encourages the bodies natural healing capability by normalizing blood circulation, hormone production and circulation, lymph circulation, digestion, assimilation, elimination and the function of the autonomic nervous system.
Zone Balance does take time. It works with the body’s own innate intelligence, and only allows the body to do what it can when it can
