Thanks for the clarification Rosie. Would you believe that in our little village as well as a reflexologist there is also a kinesiologist who I phoned a few years ago when trying to discover what exactly was going on with me. I'd read about a lady whose hypoglycemia was discovered by a kinesiologist. It was all a little new age for me then so I passed on it but now ... well, I'm more open to all these things. So after I've sorted out the basics ... and please God let that be soon! ... who knows? I might just give these alternative therapies a go. Many thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 ,Just as a little background info. Kinesiology can be practiced in a number of different ways from quite " clinical " and " medical " to more " new-agey " with crystals, music and reiki forming part of the treatment. If it's something you're interested in, then it's definitely worth searching around to find a practitioner you like the sound of and who does the treatment in keeping with your own feelings on alternative therapies. I've had numerous kinesiology sessions and have even started training to become a practitioner myself, and find it to be a wonderful enlightening therapy.BarbaraOn 18/02/2008, marlene804667 <marlene.emmett@...> wrote: Thanks for the clarification Rosie.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I went to a Kinesiologist for a short while. Someone said it had helped her so I looked it up and found someone nearby. It turned out that she was in the process of learning - about to take her finals - so fortunately was not allowed to charge me the full cost. Now whether it was because she was still learning I do not know, but I am afraid to say it didn't seem to do anything for me. Perhaps it was because it was all so weird and I was not sure what to expect and perhaps a bit cynical, or perhaps it was because I had not gone long enough. Not my fault as she cancelled an appointment because she was unwell and said she would contact me again when she starts up again, and I never heard from her. I have never seen her at the doctors either come to think of it. It turned out that she was a nurse at the doctor's practice I go to. She did ask me not to mention it at the doctors because they all knew she was studying something but she was too embarrassed to tell them what - her being a nurse and them not believing in any kind of alternative medicine.

Barbara, Thanks ever so much. Always nice to hear of positive personal experiences when you're looking into something new. And I really appreciate the tip to look around for a practitioner who I can relate to best in their approach. Good luck with your training. What a great path to take! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the traditional route hasn't worked for me. I feel as if I've wasted nearly my whole life looking for solutions that never materialised. So I am now more than willing to look at alternative therapies. I'm so encouraged by what Rosie, Barbara and yourself have said that I'm going to see what I can find out this afternoon. I wonder if it's expensive? Love x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmm! I've learned something from your experience Lilian. Check out the therapist first - preferably a recommendation. Always good to hear the other side to things.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Whereabouts in the country are you ? Maybe someone can recommend a therapist. Alternatively have a look at http://www.kinesiologyfederation.org/ (RHS of initial screen) or http://www.systematic-kinesiology.co.uk/kinesiology-practitioner-therapist.htm to find kinesiologists in your area. Don't be afraid to phone and ask questions to see how you get on with the therapist. In my experience, the ones who also do reiki, or are involved with crystals or chakra healing will be more " spiritual " and " new agey " than ones who don't use such things. If you find one on your " wavelength " you'll be more likely to gain from the treatment.

Are you joking! LOL. A reflexology treatment on the NHS? Wow! I must mention that when I next see my GP ... which will be when I can get an appointment to see if I can get my ferratin and B12 tested. Getting an appointment nowadays is a job in itself! Thanks again nne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 It seems some cancer wards in NHS hospitals and hospices do have reflexology. There was a move at one time to increase homeopathy / alternative medicines in the NHS but am not sure whether it has been taken up or not, or whether it was, but money is now restricting it. It is definitely worth a try to find out if they do in your area. You might be pleasantly surprised - sorry I meant shocked But I wouldn't hold your breath. Perhaps it depends on your condition though. Lilian > > Are you joking! LOL. A reflexology treatment on the NHS?Don't worry nne! My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I wrote that!

Hi Barbara - I've just had a quick look at these sites and found a very well qualified therapist just 3.5 miles away (I live near Nottingham). Her specialities, amongst others, are migraines, menopause and thyroid imbalances. Right up my street. Worth a further look at I think. I'm going to do as you say and do a little research. I have the time because I won't be seeing any alternative therapists until I've had more tests done and I need to wait a little while for them til funds allow. Thank you for your help. Everyone has been so generous with their time and suggestions. Thank you to you all. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi nne, I made a doc’s appt for something, and earlier that day had looked over my shoulder crossing the road and pulled a muscle. By the time I arrived at the surgery in the evening ( it was a very long time ago!) my neck was set at an angle. On entering the surgery he said ‘ well no need to say why you are here!’ ‘But that’s not why I made this appt, but now that you mention it!’ so I got my neck massaged back into place and the original reason treated too! Nowadays I fear that I would have to make several appts weeks in advance. Subject: Re: Re: Feeling rubbish Never say never, I once had a GP who did osteopathy, got a great cure for my neck problem without it costing me a cent!!! Luv nne Don't worry nne!
