The earliest pedicure in China originated from ancient health dance, so it can be said that pedicure culture has a long history in China. The earliest ancient medical monographs "Motome Zhen Jing" and "Huangdi Neijing" have records about human foot acupoint massage. Later, when Hua Tuo, an imperial doctor in the Han Dynasty, studied and created Wu Qin Xi, he also pointed out that the effect of Xi was to "dispel diseases and benefit the hoof and drive away the joints", and called this method "sufficient heart" in Huatuomi Ji.

In 1930s, foreign medical circles began to study foot massage. Ms. Guham, an American, published the story of feet in 1938. Almost at the same time, Ms. Martha Frette, a French-Swiss working in China parish, also made an in-depth study of foot massage. After obtaining China's foot massage atlas and password, she published the book Future Health, which shocked the western medical community. In recent ten years, the research on foot massage in China has made a breakthrough. 1982, Zhongmin founded the International Ruoshi Health Research Association, a professional pedicure massage institution, to popularize Ruoshi pedicure health care method.
