The 16th Century was a very interesting time for the development of modern medicine, as we know it. It was a time packed with medical inventions and discoveries for the European content. Dr. Andreas Vesalius - celebrated as father of modern Anatomy, published his landmark treatises called 'De humani corporis fabrica libri septem' in 1543. The invention of the microscope during the end of the century meant that we were opened to a whole new world of understanding diseases.
Science for the first time was given freedom to be asked questions such as how, why, what, who? And hence the flood gates opened giving answers with the publication of research papers, books and magazines.
One of the earliest books to be written on Reflexology was published in 1582, by two eminent European physicians, Dr. A'tatis and Dr. Adamus. A second book on this topic was published by a Dr. Bell from Germany, Leipzig.
However, it was Dr.William Fitzgerald, who developed the practice of reflexology in Europe. He therefore was known as the father of reflexology.
