Rwo-Shur Method

The Chinese Method of Foot Reflexology, also called the Rwo-Shur Method, originated from Father Josef Eugster, a Swiss Catholic Priest, who goes by the Chinese name Wu Rwo-Shur in 1977. He came to Taiwan some 30 years ago to preach in Taitung, at that time he suffered acute arthritis in his knees. Medicine was of no help, and his physicians advised him aged 37 that the disease was incurable A colleague begged to differ and advised if he learned reflexology, he could easily get rid of the problem.His colleague gave him a book about foot reflexology titled Good Health for the Future (1976) by Heidi Masafret. Father Josef didn’t understand how a method used on the feet could help his knees, but he began studying and when he first used reflexology on himself he could barely stand the pain, but he kept at it. Within two weeks, to his amazement, the arthritis disappeared, never to return. “I suddenly got the insight that reflexology could be my new mission method, an easy way to approach people and help those in need,” says Father Josef, a member of the Swiss Missionary Society of Bethlehem. With such a dramatic and successful introduction it came as no surprise that Father Josef proceeded to popularize reflexology throughout Taiwan and other Asian countries. For the past 30 years he has been living and working in Taiwan with Taiwanese, Aborigines and Chinese Mainlanders, maintaining the normal duties of priest for as many as seven communities simultaneously while also actively promoting the healing benefits of Reflexology.

Father Josef has also taught Reflexology to blind and handicapped people in Taiwan assisting them in finding an ethical means to support themselves.  Since Reflexology is highly sensitive to touch and intuitive feel, he feels their natural handicap can also become a significant advantage. He is the author of a popular book “Reflexology-Health Method” (available only in Chinese) and has produced several videocassettes (one in English)  “The Key to Good Health”. In 1992, he received a Doctorate degree from Medicina Alternativa Institute of World Health Organization, (WHO).  It is estimated that by now, remarkably, he has trained 10,000 students worldwide.
