National Reflexology Day is observed in Canada on the last Tuesday of May. This day aims to educate the public about the benefits of reflexology, a non-invasive alternative medicine practice that applies pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears, believed to correspond to different zones of the body. The celebration is coordinated by the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC), which promotes professional standards and continuous education for reflexology therapists. Reflexology has roots in ancient practices from China, Egypt, and India, and was modernized in the early 20th century by figures such as William H. Fitzgerald and Eunice D. Ingham. The day encourages individuals to explore reflexology's potential to relieve ailments like stress, anxiety, and musculoskeletal pain, while also advocating for better access to therapy and insurance coverage. Participants can engage by learning about reflexology, trying it out, and sharing their experiences on social media using the hashtag #NationalReflexologyDay.
