Who is the founder of modern reflexology and the creator of reflexology body charts?

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

Answer: (A)

Modern reflexology grew from mapping the body onto the feet and treating those reflex points as gateways to overall health. Eunice Ingham took Dr. William Fitzgerald’s zone theory and expanded it into the full foot charts and systematic approach we still use today, turning reflexology into a structured, teachable practice. Her development of the detailed reflexology charts and her efforts to train practitioners worldwide earned her recognition as the founder of modern reflexology. Dwight Byers was a devoted student who helped promote her work, while Fitzgerald introduced the zone concept itself, and Shelby Riley isn’t identified as a founder. So the correct answer is Eunice Ingham.
