The origins of Reflexology evidently reach back to ancient Egypt as evidenced by inscriptions found in the physician’s tomb at Saqqara in Egypt. The translation of the hieroglyphics is as follows: “Don’t hurt me.” The practitioner’s reply, “I shall act so you praise me.” We cannot determine the exact relationship between the ancient art as practiced by the early Egyptians and the Reflexology as we know it today. Different forms of working the feet to effect health have been used all over the ancient world. This form of healing spread from Egypt via the Roman Empire.

In its simplest definition Reflexology is a foot massage, but in practice it is much more: Reflexology involves the application of manual pressure to precise points or areas which correspond to specific parts of the body, to stimulate these areas and assist the healing powers you have within you. Using the thumb or forefinger to apply fine, deep pressure to appropriate reflex points, you can remove blockages in energy pathways and open the channel for natural healing.

Thai yoga massage is based on the concept of invisible energy lines running through the body. There is constant body contact between the giver and the receiver, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked in a rhythmic flow of movement. By working along the body’s energy (sen) lines this encourages the flow of energy and a deep state of relaxation, leading to the balance of mind, body and soul. Thai yoga massage is performed on a futon on the floor; both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility.

Known as facial reflexology, Dien Chan was developed by Prof. Bùi Quốc Châu in 1980 in Vietnam. Based on a map of fixed points on the face and various reflexology schemes. It allows a wide variety of combinations, along with the different forms of stimulation offered by the tools used.

Due to the large numbers of his patients, he was able to test his theories and found some fixed points on the face, which affect our internal organs and some areas of the body. While stimulating these points, he discovered that these points are concrete regulators that affect some area of the body.

Professor Bùi Quôc Châu establishes a “point chart” and replaced his acupuncture needles with a detector that consists of a stem with a round top that doesn’t penetrate the skin. These fixed points on the chart are named  “points bqc” after the Professor.
