Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi Jake: Yes I have used Reflexology, and yes it worked for me. After a session, my whole body feels absolutely no pain whatsoever. My registered massage therapist moved away last September and I have only had relaxation massages since that time. I have found another lady who does manicures, pedicures and hot paraffin moisturizing for me each month who just passed her course in ?? " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " . I will begin sessions again next month. Again, they work for me. Regards, Beckingham Corporate Nice Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Gene, Though I am not Jake, I am a reflexologist and I will tell you about the treatments I give. They last a half hour. I'll look over the foot carefully first to see if there are any cuts, rashes deformities etc. Then I start gently compressing the whole area of the sole, parts of the upper and sides and then work more deeply. It is done mainly with the thumbs and index fingers.This brings relaxation, improves the circulation and is bringing the body into homeostasis(balance). If you visualize the left side of the body being imaged on the left foot and the right side the right foot you can picture mentally where different organs and glands of the body are reflected-that is if you know anatomy- We do not claim to cure but to relax and improve the circulation and improve nerve flow.I have done this professionally for over 20 years. An excellent study source is Dwight C Byers book " Better Health with Foot Reflexology " ( the original Ingham method). It can be found in many libraries. The ISBN 0-9611804-2-0 Published by Ingham Publishing, Inc St sburg FL. Reflexology can also be done on the hands and is a great self help tool and also very good for amputees. Hope this is of some help. Wishing you the best. Ruth from Indiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hello, As I could not find any good reflexologist in my area, I began giving some treatment for the ovarian cyst and gallbladder stones to myself. Does anyone is familiar with reflexology? I would like to know if applying a vibrator to the reflex points can have the same effect of pressing these points using my fingers. Thanks, Tat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
