All the many questions... THEY HAVE ANSWERS!

I have been asked these questions MANY times.  It's hard to give a good explanation while I'm talking face to face with someone.  So next time I get asked I'm just going to say.... Go read my blog!  HA!

Where did Foot Zonology come from?

Foot Zonology started with Zone Therapy. Zone Therapy, in some form or another, 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 human 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. He also 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. source
Katri Nordblom, a Zone Therapist trained by Dr. Ersdal, began to teach and spread this method of healing in Sweden. Then in the spring of 1989 Katri and her husband Hans brought Zone Therapy to the United States. In 1990 they established the Nordblom American Institute of FootZonology.


What is Foot Zonology?

Foot Zonology is the science of the signal system in the feet. It consists of both Zone Balance and Zone Analysis. Zone Balance is the method of utilizing these signals to balance, restore, rejuvenate, and repair our bodies. Zone Analysis is how to read, see and feel the signals.  Foot Zoning is a natural form of healing that has helped many people from different walks of life overcome ailments they are suffering from.  These ailments can include discomforts, chronic pain, illness, diseases, weight issues, addictions, emotional problems, and mental problems. Foot Zoning unlike other natural healing therapies works with the body as a whole instead of individual symptoms. This gives your body the ability to work as a system and completely eliminate the problem as a whole instead treating one of symptoms that may occur from the problem. source


What are the benefits of Foot Zoning?

Foot Zoning can benefit newborn babies to the elderly and everyone in between. Some of the benefits from having your feet zoned are: renewal and rejuvenation of the body's cell systems, being able to access the current state of your health, renewing and raising the body's life energy, balancing the body's systems (individually as well as in relation to each other), disease prevention, improving overall health, improving the body's immune system, aids in regaining health after major illness or injury, and increases longevity.

How does Foot Zoning work?

Through our feet you can tell everything that is happening in the body because of a signal system that is in the feet. This signal system is connected to every individual cell in the body.  To really understand how Foot Zoning works we must first understand the basic job of a cell.  Our body is made up of thousands of cells.  The job of each cell is to die and then create a new cell.  This is how our body heals from injuries and sickness.  Just as our brain makes memories so does each cell in our body.  That is why after we get cut we have a scar.  The cell that was damaged still holds the memory of the damage and creates a new cell that is imperfect because of the cut.  When our cells are damaged (because of bacteria, virus, food, emotional stress, mental stress, or trauma) and hold the memory of the damage they make new cells that aren't in their "healthy" state but in their damaged state.  This is why over time our bodies slowly break down.  This change in the cell allows illness and disease to set in (as well as other emotional and mental changes).  Through Foot Zoning we have the ability to go in, remove the memory from the cell and bring it back to the "healthy" cell it was suppose to be and heal our bodies.  Through doing this we don't treat the symptoms it eliminates the problem all together.  While it would be great to have this process happen over night (or in one zone) it doesn't.  With regular Zoning and improvement of your lifestyle, it will improve your overall health.
