ICR established in 1990 in Toronto, Canada determined to establish Reflexology as a self-regulating profession to Reflexologists, resolved to combine their efforts to ensure public safety and to promote the study and exchange of knowledge and art of reflexology within the profession. There are many member nations and through Deshamanya Dr Cyril Antony, Sri Lanka also became a member of the ICR. The needs of the profession are met by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information; via quarterly newsletters and international conferences. The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of meeting these needs, are determined to be an example of inclusiveness, respectful consideration, and tolerance for any reflexology theory, technique, and practitioner. Every year the last week of September is regarded as the World Reflexology Week, where many programmes are conducted across the globe by ICR members. The International Council of Reflexologists conducts its affairs through a General Council to which all members belong and an Executive Board to which members are elected. Deshamanya Dr Cyril Antony has been elected in the year 2017 as a Director on the ICR Board of Directors for a term of four years.
