Who is described as the world leading authority on reflexology and the first Director of the International Institute of Reflexology?

• A. Dwight Byers
• B. Eunice Ingham
• C. Dr. William Fitzgerald
• D. Dr. Shelby Riley

Answer: (A)

Dwight Byers is recognized as the figure who carried reflexology into its modern, organized form and led the International Institute of Reflexology as its first Director. He built on Eunice Ingham’s foundational work, expanding the training on reflexology and spreading it internationally, which is why he’s described as the world’s leading authority in this field and as the institute’s inaugural director. The other figures are important contributors to the broader reflexology story—Dr. William Fitzgerald introduced Zone Therapy, Eunice Ingham popularized and systematized reflexology—but they are not identified as the first Director of the International Institute of Reflexology.
