History of Foot Zonology

The idea of healing the body from applying pressure to the foot has been around for thousands of years. Ancient paintings and hieroglyphics found in India and Egypt show past civilizations using some form of Zone Therapy to improve a person’s overall health and wellness.

In the 20th century, Zone Therapy re-emerged with Dr. William Fitzgerald, an American ear, nose, and throat specialist (1872-1946). He developed a theory that humans have 10 vertical meridians, or electrical circuits, that run through the body. Dr. Fitzgerald discovered that by applying pressure in a specific movement or pattern, relieved pain in the body. His work was documented by Dr. Edwin Bowers, who referred to the vertical meridians as “zones”.

In the 1950’s, a Norwegian doctor, Charles Ersdal, M.D., experienced relief from paralysis with Zone Therapy treatments. Dr. Ersdal researched FootZone Therapy and determined that the body had its’ own healing intelligence. He found that the body has the ability to heal itself when stimulated or triggered through the specific treatment of FootZone Therapy. Dr. Ersdal discovered the body responded best when treated as a whole integrated, inter-related system, and charted the signals to the brain, blood circulation, lymphatic system, and musculoskeletal system.

Katri Nordblom, a German trained naturopath, learned and was mentored in FootZone Therapy by Dr. Ersdal. She began to teach the method in her home country of Sweden. Katri made significant discoveries of her own relating to the signals in the feet, specifically the inner organs and the pancreas. She found that we could analyze the current state of the body through accessing the signal system in the feet.

In 1989, Katri and her husband, Hans moved to Paradise Valley, Montana, bringing Foot Zone Therapy to the United States. Through years of practicing, researching, and teaching, Katri made more revelatory discoveries and implemented them into the traditional FootZone Therapy. Katri found that through Foot Zoning, the four lower bodies – the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual which connects a person to their inner perfect blueprint and truest self, can be healed. With these significant discoveries, Katri and Hans changed FootZone Therapy to Foot Zonology, and trademarked it. In 1990, they opened the Nordblom American Institute of Foot Zonology and teach students this healing treatment.

Zonology

Zonology is a noninvasive natural treatment that helps the body as a whole instead of focusing on individual symptoms within the body. The Zoning philosophy is that the body’s systems are inter-related and work together synergistically for optimal health and wellness. If only one area is treated at a time, then imbalances may occur.

Zonology is the science of balancing, rejuvenating, and repairing the body through the signal system which are in the foot, face and back. These treatments include a ZoneAnalysis, ZoneBalance, Tissue Rejuvenation (in face and back zones) and is completed with an Essential Oil treatment applied to help further the treatments benefits.

ZoneAnalysis identifies the areas of imbalance in the body to help us focus on potential changes that will lead to better health, harmonious balance and overall vitality. Balance helps the body by accessing the signals and prompting cells to repair and renew themselves at the DNA level.

Zoning Treatment can provide relief from ailments such as:

- Stress and anxiety - Chronic and acute pain

- Low immunity - Digestive problems

- Headaches and migraines - Autoimmune illnesses

- Metabolic issues - Emotional and mental imbalances

footzoning

FootZonology is the science of balancing, rejuvenating and detoxifying the body through the   signal system in the feet. Each cell in our body has a signal on our feet, and by accessing the signal, the cells are prompted at a DNA level to repair and renew themselves.  The body has the ability to heal itself. FootZonology treats the entire body as a whole.

All of our body’s systems are inter-related and work together synergistically for optimal health and wellness.  Imbalances can occur in the body if only one area is isolated and treated at a time. By treating the entire body each time, a balance can be maintained in the body which will lead to overall vitality and wellness. FootZoning is a natural and non-invasive treatment which can benefit people of all ages including infants, toddlers, children, teenagers men and women.
