How does Foot Zoning work, and what can it do for me?


Our ears, hands, feet and head contain nerve endings to ALL parts of our bodies.This is why many acupuncture and reflexology treatments occur in these places. The feet have a very distinct “map” of these. During our 45 minute session, I use my hands to systematically go through and feel/trigger the signals on a foot to relay information that can help the body heal itself.

The signal system in the feet instantaneously registers all disturbances that have negative effects on the body. Bad foods (allergies), chemicals, emotional disturbances and trauma, bacteria, viruses, and stress all can show through this signal system.

Benefits of a Foot Zone Session include:
  • Renewal and rejuvenation of the body’s cell systems
  • Accurate information of the body’s current condition
  • Renewal of the body’s life energy
  • Balance in the body’s systems (individually and in relation to each other)
  • Disease prevention
  • Strong immune response




ALL people can benefit from regular Foot Zone sessions. Everyone ranging from infants and children to adolescents, adults and the elderly. 

I've heard of Reflexology; is Foot Zoning similar?
Reflexology and it's cousin (Foot Zoning) have been around since...well...forever! Here is  brief history of how they came about and their small, but significant differences.
  • Egypt (Ankhmar’s tomb)
  • 5,000 years ago in China and India
  • Dr. William H. FitzGerald M.D. (1872 +) observed that putting pressure over certain parts of the body enabled him to do minor operations without local anelgesics and mapped the body into five zones on each side of the body
  • Edwin F. Bowers M.D. (medical critic) named this alternative healing therapy “Zone Therapy”
  • Eunice Ingham Stopfel developed and named the Reflexology method
  • Mid-1900’s Refelexology wanders into Scandinavia.
  • Dr. Charles Ersdal was cured from paralysis through Reflexology in Norway. He wasn’t able to find consistent results with this technique, so he set out to re-map the entire body. He found that consistent health is a result of treating the whole body each session. Not just the parts that were presenting problems (as is practiced in Reflexology).
  • Dr. Ersdal mapped out the entire anatomical, physiological and immunological systems on the foot and dubbed it Zone Therapy treatment.
  • Katri Nordblom was taught by Dr. Charles Ersdal and began to spread and teach in Sweden.
  • In 1989 Katri and her husband Hans brought Zone Therapy to the United States, and established the Nordblom Institute of Zone Therapy.
  • New study material and an advanced method were presented in 1994 by the Nordbloms; the system was called Zone Balance.
  • Students took the method, formed their own institutions, and spread it throughout the United States

Quotes
  • "Foot Zone Rejuvenation is a method for correcting, balancing, and renewing the body’s ENTIRE cell system through a complex signal system in the feet which is connected to every cell and organ in the body. The signal system is a connecting link between our four lower bodies; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. "                            ​-Nordblom Institute Text
  •  “Keep in mind what you are doing. You are increasing the circulation and raising the body vitality. As the vitality increases, Nature has the strength to overcome and throw off the poisons of the system. Nature does the work. We only assist Nature.“
