I have been practicing reflexology for years and years. It is my favorite form of health practice. I have tried a variety of methods but I have enjoyed the feeling of it on my feet for many years.
Reflexology is a form of physical therapy that uses the muscles and organs beneath your skin to balance and relax your body. It is most effective when applied to body parts that are under stress, such as the back, neck, shoulders, or lower back.
Reflexology is often used by physical therapists to relieve symptoms in patients in pain, such as chronic back pain, sciatica, or headaches. It may be used in cases where pain is caused by a condition, such as osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, whiplash, or migraines. It may also be beneficial in cases where a person has a condition that causes them to be hyper sensitive to touch or any other area of their body, such as those with arthritis.
Reflexology can be used for a variety of conditions, but more specifically to relieve chronic back pain, sciatica, and headaches. The back is also a good place to start because it’s in the center of the body and usually the first thing you’ll notice when trying to apply it. The neck is probably the most interesting one because it’s often the first part of the body you’ll touch and that’s where the pressure will be applied.
Reflexology is a type of massage that uses the back to deliver pressure to a number of points. This is usually done by placing a small weight on the area, or simply holding a hand against a part of your body to apply pressure. The most common method is the back, but the hand is also used.
This is the part of the body where I usually have the most problems with reflexology, so I wont worry about it too much. However, if you have any problems with the neck, you might want to stop and take a look at this article.
I would like to take a moment here to thank my friend, and one of my biggest inspirations, Tim Rogers, for the idea that I actually should post a reflexology link. His videos and articles have really helped me get into the habit of doing the exercises as often as I can. They are so much more than I realized I needed them to be, and I highly recommend you check out his blog, Tim Rogers’s Reflexology.
The linky is fun, but you have to put in a bit of effort to actually get to the content. I’ve been putting off this post for a year, because I’d really like to say I’ve done it “right,” but I’m not exactly sure how. In the meantime, I’ve been reading this video by Paul B. and it has really helped me out.
It seems to me like you could spend an hour or two doing the exercises and then not think about them for a week or so. It’s not a big deal, but it’s a big improvement in my life and I’m a big believer in getting better at something.
My first reflexology session was with a friend, and I just remember feeling like the first thing I did after I finished was to lie down on the floor. I have always been very clumsy, and I had trouble with falling when I was younger. I used to wake up screaming and kicking the walls. But after I learned how to do it properly, it was great, and I’ve never looked back.
