Reflexology

[Guest guest]

Carolyn;

My experience with reflexology is it is very affective

with pain relief! There isn't anyone here close to do

it (had it done one time in another town) or I'd have

it instead of massage; my massage therapist is trying

to get certified in it though;she feels it is more

benficial in many situations too. (she feels for CMT

it might help in addition to massage)

I've had reflexology done quite a few times in the past two years. When the

gallbladder problems started last fall I asked the massage therapist if he

would work on the gallbladder area of the foot. At that point I was willing

to try anything in order to avoid surgery! When he first started

working on the foot I didn't really notice anythign and we just chatted while

he worked. All of a sudden I felt something that is hard to describe - sort

of a warm sensation - like a warm fluid moving inside me. It was very brief,

but it really felt good and it was in the area of the gallbladder.

I also had another related experience during a gallbladder flush. I think I

might have shared about this out here when it happened. I'd had problems

with my right foot and the foot doctor said it was probably plantar fascitis.

During one cleanse I woke up in the middle of the night with a strong

throbbing pain in my right foot. It just pulsed a couple of times and then

subsided within a couple of minutes. After that the pain was gone. I

haven't had a problem with what they thought was plantar fascitis since then.

It made a believer out of me as to the connection between those pressure

points and their related areas of the body! I think that the foot pain

might actually have been a signal that there was a problem in the

gallbladder. This is interesting stuff!

in health,
