本研究採用歷史分析、文獻探討及專家學者訪談對腳底按摩進行通盤了解及研究，並對現今的經營方式、教育訓練及相關法令到政府政策做了全面性的檢討。
我們先從文獻探討中了解到在混沌期（自埃及金字塔時代）就有這樣的行為紀錄；要特別注意的地方是此紀錄存在於貴族之間，那就可以合理推論它存在於民間的歷史應該更加久遠。接著在神經學發展的時代，我們看到這數百年來的學者大都以神經反射進行理解，但是始終無法自圓其說。
到了近代，我們有更豐富的資訊去理解它的運作方式，也因此產生許許多多不同領域學科的假說，到這已跳脫出原先神經反射的框架，有了神經、物理、精神、心理、生物學甚至是玄學種種研究假設紛紛出籠，也因為這樣我們看到從理論、手法到經營方式推陳出新真正進入百家爭鳴的時代。卻因為這樣使得腳底按摩被主流醫學攻擊得體無完膚，直到近些年鄭英吉老師和吳神父的崛起加上中國大陸的開放革新等背景因素，促使相關的效度研究陸陸續續的面世。
但是直到今日，腳底按摩依然處在知其然不知其所以然的階段，也才使得它不管在教育訓練、或是政府政策上處處受阻，不見於大雅之堂。
本研究蒐集了現今所遭遇的困境並參考專家學者的意見後，提出從法律根源著手改變的全新策略，先行修法、立法再進入主流教、考、用的職業建立流程，為此職業建立全新的職業流程以便推廣、教育的推行，並期待有能者能以更寬廣的心胸幫助這些從業人員真正認識它是如何運作的。

Having adopted historical analysis, archive research as well as interviews with experts and scholars, this thesis endeavors to achieve a thorough understanding and study on reflexology by conducting an overall review on its present management, the training involved, related laws and regulations as well as government policies.
We realize from the archives that records witnessing such behavior equivalent to today's reflexology can be traced back to the time of Egyptian Pyramids. As such records were retained among nobles at that time, we can logically infer that such behavior had existed in the society even before the time of these records. Then we notice most scholars in recent several hundred years during the developmental period of neurology have been trying to comprehend reflexology from the angle of reflex, but unable to succeed in providing sensible explanations.
In recent times, lots of information have become available to help us understand the operating ways of reflexology. As a result, various theories of different scientific categories, such as neurology, physiology, psychology, biology, and even metaphysics, have submerged, and consequently reflexology has detached from its original frame of reflex and entered a new era focusing on various theories, massage techniques and operating devices. Since then, reflexology has inevitably been criticized seriously by mainstream medicine until the rise of Prof. Eugene Cheng and Ref. Josef Eugster and some background incidents such as the open and reformative measures taken by the Chinese authorities in recent years. All these factors have made the research on the efficiency of reflexology possible.
Nevertheless, even today, reflexology is still at the stage of "know what it is without knowing why it is". That is why it cannot be generally recognized following the many difficulties it encounters with respect to developing training courses and influencing government policies.
This thesis presents the predicament reflexology has encountered so far, making references to the comments from experts and scholars, and comes up with a brand new strategies in changing it for the better starting from its foundation: legislation. We assert to establish and amend related laws and regulations so that reflexology can be included in mainstream systems of education, examination and recruitment, to design new occupational procedures to effectively promote training, anticipating capable people in this field would actively assist the practitioners to truly comprehend how it works.
